People need to keep their canine companions under good control.

 

 

Northern Ireland had the highest number of dog attacks on postal workers in the UK last year, according to Royal Mail.

 

There were 67 attacks on postmen in Northern Ireland from April 2016 to April 2017.

 

That was a rise of 20% on the previous year, whereas throughout the UK the number of attacks dropped by 7%.

 

Over the last five years, there have been 329 attacks on postmen in Northern Ireland and 14,500 across the UK.

 

 

The number of attacks rises during the school holidays and in the summer months when parents and children are at home, says Royal Mail.

 

Royal Mail says that at these times, dogs are more likely to be unsupervised or not kept under control when the postman or woman knocks on the door.

IMHO, if a dog attacks a postman, then it wont be long before it attacks a child !

It's not just dog attacks that postmen have to face. Cats can also be a problem: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/28/beware-of-the-cat-royal-mail-tells-couple-to-keep-post-snatching/

many years ago my brother helped the local milkman on his rounds at the weekend as that was money collection time so having another person speeded up things somewhat. One house on the round had a problem dog that kept attacking the postman etc and the owner did nothing about it. Whem my brother approached the property the dog duly ran out snarling and leapt the gate to bite him. As the dog was in mid flight my brother clocked it square on with a milk crate with 12 full pint bottles and the dog was sent back in the direction it came from with the force. Whenever a visitor came to the property after that and was carrying something (like a postbag or milk crate) the dog would run away and hide.

This was on our local news earlier.. they showed the poor woman in hospital - she was lucky to come out of this with her arm still attached..

 

A postwoman has spent four days in hospital following a serious attack by a dog while she was delivering mail earlier this week. Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident, which took place at about 9.30am at Goldfen Bank, in Wrangle, on Tuesday and was called to them later that day. They confirmed the woman ‘received serious bite injuries to her arms and legs and was taken to hospital for treatment’. A dog has been seized and remains housed in kennels whilst the investigation continues.

The Royal Mail and a union representing postal workers have urged dog owners to "control and restrain" their pets after a postwoman was attacked.

 

Sharron Singer, 47, suffered "significant" injuries to her arms and legs after she was bitten on Tuesday morning in Wrangle, near Boston.

 

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said her life had been "in danger" and urged owners to be responsible.

 

Lincolnshire Police said the dog had been seized and put in a kennel.
