Sadly, there has been a rise of at least 15 per cent of dog attacks on postal workers and delivery drivers over the past year.
No one should be vulnerable to being attacked by a dog, let alone when they are doing their job.
If dog owners have any concerns about their pet when visitors come to the home, or when mail is delivered through the letterbox, may I strongly recommend you sign up to take part in the Blue Cross ‘Protecting Your Postie’ webinar on September 27, or December 16.
