Don't Bite Mailmen

Dog owners across America are being asked to show their letter carriers some love by making sure their pets are in separate rooms with closed doors before accepting mail from a carrier at their front doors.

That's one of the key messages as the Postal Service launched National Dog Bite Prevention Week, May 18-24.

Last year more than 3,000 city and rural carriers were attacked by dogs across the Untied States.

How timely was this article with the forum chit chat?
