Rules Written in Blood

Ever wondered why your mail wasn't delivered? It could be because of a dog. Each year, thousands of postal workers are attacked, leading the USPS to create strict national safety rules. Carriers are trained to use their satchels as shields and can suspend delivery to an entire neighborhood if a dog poses a threat. This isn't a personal choice; it's a nationwide policy to protect employees from serious injury.
