Where: |
Dallas City Council Chambers |
|
Background: |
The figure of 6,549 letter carriers bitten or attacked by dogs in 2015 pales in comparison to the more than 2 million children who were needlessly victimized by dogs. The owners of many of the canines claimed their pet “would never bite” or even “wouldn’t hurt a fly.” This year, the Postal Service and its letter carriers work to prevent these painful, sometimes fatal, injuries by promoting community awareness and responsible pet ownership. |
