USPS: DOG BITES ON THE DECLINE.

DOG BITES ON THE DECLINE.

USPS mail carriers have reported fewer dog attacks and bites so far in 2005 compared to the same period last year. It’s a trend the Postal Service hopes to continue as spring and summer approach — traditionally the worst period for these incidents. Compared to 2004 at this time, there is a 9.42% reduction in dog attacks and bites nationwide.

Dog Bite Prevention Week is May 15-21 this year. More information about how to prevent pet attacks is available at your local Post Office.
