Postal dogs plea
ROYAL Mail has urged people to keep their pets under control after revealing that the number of dog attacks against postal workers increased by eight per cent over the past year to more than 3,300.
Around nine postmen and women are attacked by dogs every day, some leading to a permanent disabling injury.
In February, Royal Mail took the controversial decision to suspend deliveries to all 60 homes in Worcester Road, Blackburn after a post man was bitten by a dog.
