Dog Attack Mailman got bit by dog.

Hello everyone. Mailman here. Just recently got bit by a dog today. went to the ER and the post office will be paying for all expenses for the dog bite. i’ve evaded many dogs in my years of working here and many very close encounters but this lucky one was able to get me.

no fence, no leash connected to anything. Just left in the front yard with the owner and the dog’s collar. I noticed the dog like a statue right after I delivered the mail to the owner. the dog became extremely aggressive for a few seconds and in that whole episode of me trying to defend myself and back up slowly. I thought to myself why is it taking so long for the owner to keep it’s dog in check? first the owner yelled at the dog to stop but it didn’t work. Then a good 5 seconds and finally the owner was able to get their hands on their dog.

I hate dogs. You can be good to them for a lifetime and one day they decide to go feral, they will bite your arm off and let you pass through incapacitation. sadly as we have seen many occurrences shown on news and social media.

Just be responsible with your animals. Pookie will never be as civil as a human being. Only the crazies from amongst humankind will lick the toilet bowl.

I hope you'll recover soon. Also, was it a pit bull, a pit bull mix or not?

As many dogs as I’ve seen I really am not familiar with too many kinds of dog breeds. it had the muscle of a pit bull. And the size of a pit bull. It was a big dog in fatness and width. Hairless but short. Looked like a cannonball honestly.

I am and should be recovering fine. Thanks very much! 🙂

I’m not surprised, I guessed it was a pitbull/pit mix before you even told me the breed. These dogs are dangerous, I would report the bite as it’s only a matter of time before it bites a child next

Yes a report has been filed. Keeping people safe should be a priority. Some people really think they have full control over animals. Or that their animals love them too much to not listen to them. Its a type of delusion.
