With over 6,000 reported dog attacks on mail carriers in 2024, the United States Postal Service has launched its annual National Dog Bite Awareness Campaign in an effort to raise awareness and reduce preventable incidents. The campaign began on Sunday, June 1, and runs through the month with the theme: “Secure Your Dog, Keep Deliveries on Track.”

Dog attacks are a significant safety concern for mail carriers and can have severe consequences for both employees and dog owners alike.
