## Resource

Royal Mail is sounding the alarm as dog attacks on postal workers hit over 2,000 last year—down slightly but still alarmingly high, with 38 incidents per week across the UK. Despite a 17% drop in severe injuries, every attack is preventable, especially when owners keep dogs securely contained before opening the door. During Dog Awareness Week, Royal Mail urges pet owners to act: keep dogs away from the door, never open it with a loose pet, and secure your dog indoors. High-risk areas include Sheffield (postcode S), Doncaster, Guildford, Newcastle, and Portsmouth, where attacks occur at doors, in gardens, and even through letterboxes—often leading to lost workdays and life-changing injuries. Simple steps can save lives and protect our postal heroes.
