Summer may seem like a sociable
season, but dogs of every breed and
size are permitted to run loose and
make enemies by threatening public
safety. letter carriers know that.
More than 7,000 letter carriers
were bitten by dogs last year and
many suffered permanent injury.
By any standards, dog bites are a
problem of epidemic propor-
tions, especially during summer
when more dogs are left outdoors.
Sadly, none of the thousands of
painful, expensive dog bite cases
would have to happen if owners
would only take the time to recog
nize that one of the prime responsi
bilities of pet ownership is to
protect the pet and those with
whom it comes in contact.
The Postal Service has the right
to refuse to deliver mail to any
home where a dangerous or threat
ening dog is not kept restrained.
Moreover, if the dog is allowed to
roam free, service to an entire
neighborhood can be interrupted.
Dog owners also should be aware
of a probram under which the Postal
Service can recover money it loses
in work hours in addition to injury
compensation to bitten carriers.
Some people may criticize the
Postal Service for cracking down on
negligent pet owners. There’s some
thing almost anti-American in a
message to "keep your dog fenced,
leashed or confined."
However, these sentiments ought
to pale in the glaring light of the
statistics of death, disfigurement
and the painful scarring of thou
sands of letter carriers each year.
We’re asking citizens to realize
they are responsible for their pets
and to help protect their pets, their
carriers and themselves from the
staggering human and financial
costs of dog bites.
