Nearly 800 postal workers were attacked by dogs last year throughout California, a state that leads the nation in postal carrier canine bites.

In Garden Grove, one of California’s top danger zones for United States Postal Service (USPS) workers, officials held a press conference on June 16 in conjunction with National Dog Bite Awareness Week. Victims shared their experiences in an attempt to educate the public on the dangers of uncontained aggressive animals.
