In its rankings by cities, San Diego has tied for 11th place with 31 recorded dog attacks on postal employees in 2021.
Pet owners with children were also advised not to let them take mail directly from a letter carrier as the dog may view the carrier as a threat.
"Every year, thousands of postal employees are attacked by dogs as they deliver America's mail. And while it's a dog's natural instinct to protect their family and home, we ask all customers to act responsibly by taking safety precautions with their dogs while the mail is being delivered," said USPS Employee Safety and Health Awareness Manager Leeann Theriault.

That’s prompted two largely agricultural irrigation districts in the region to try to break away from the regional water supplier saying they can purchase cheaper water elsewhere. Experts say that would push costs up even more as the state sinks deeper into drought.
