Reblog time! I wrote about this back in 2023. It’s the United State Postal Service (USPS) annual Dog Bite Awareness Campaign and its importance for our postal service delivery persons to feel safe from dog attacks.
The good news is that “In 2025, dog attacks on postal workers dropped to just over 5,200 incidents nationwide.”
We’ve never owned a dog but a couple of years ago we moved into another Homeowners Association (HOA), which means the person delivering the mail puts it into the cluster mailbox pod. No worries about dogs.
That helps, but what about cows attacking mail carriers? This is National Dairy Month, and it’s well documented that cows kill more people than sharks, let alone dogs. However, we don’t live in a cow intensive neighborhood.
That didn’t stop a cow from attacking a postal worker at the post office in the United Kingdom though as was reported in a 2018 news story.
So, I guess that means if a cow gets mad about not getting its mail, postal workers are not safe even at the post office—at least in England.
