A Miami postal worker was attacked and bitten by three dogs while attempting to deliver the mail. The postal worker received at least 15 puncture wounds on her chest and on her legs. The postal worker used a deterrent spray to keep the dogs away but, despite her spraying the chemical at the animals, they continued to attack her. Miami-Dade County Animal Control believes that the dogs either jumped over a fence or broke through a fence to attack the postal worker. The woman was taken to Jackson Memorial Medical Center for treatment of her dog bites and injuries. This is the second time in recent months that a postal worker suffered serious dog bites while delivering the mail.
The owner of the dogs was not present when the animal attack took place. He was fined $515.00 by animal control officers for the incident. In addition, the dogs were taken from the owner and quarantined for 10 days to determine if they carry the rabies virus.
