David Matthews | New York Daily News (TNS) More than 5,300 employees of the U.S. Postal Service were attacked by dogs while delivering mail in 2022, the agency said. The number represented a slight drop from 2021 when more than 5,400, and 2020 when more than 5,800 were attacked. Dog bites remain one of the chief occupational hazards for letter carriers. Dog bites can lead to a number of other health effects, including dangerous infections. The figures were announced as part of the agency’s annual National Dog Bite Awareness Week public service campaign, which runs from June 4 to June 10. “When letter carriers deliver mail in our communities, dogs that are not secured or leashed can become a nemesis and unpredictable and attack,” Leeann Theriault, USPS employee safety and health awareness manager, said.
