## Resource

Royal Mail’s staff faced 2,119 dog attacks last year — down 8% from the prior year, but still averaging 38 incidents weekly across the UK, with many causing life-altering injuries. Though severe injuries dropped 17%, the risk remains high, especially during Dog Awareness Week. Attacks often occur at doors or through letterboxes, costing over 3,400 worker days off. The most dangerous areas? Sheffield (S postcode), Doncaster, and Guildford. Experts stress: always secure your dog before opening the door — even friendly pups can react unpredictably. Simple steps make a huge difference.
