ATLANTA, GA — The postal service is out with it’s annual “Dog Bite” report.
Overall, there were 6,000 incidents of mail carriers being bitten by a dog. Tiffany Rowlands with the US Postal Service says Georgia ranks in the top 25 for states with the most dog bites at 104 incidents.
California reports the most mail carriers bering bitten by dogs.
