JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A simple package drop-off turned dangerous last week for U.S. Postal Service worker Linda Warren, who said she was attacked by a dog.
The day started off like any other. Warren had been to the home many times previously for deliveries.
“I was coming back to my truck and this dog came flying across the yard from the neighbor’s house, and he attacked me,” Warren said. “He didn’t just bite me. He attacked me.”
Warren said it happened in the Maxville area, off Pine Street, which is a rural neighborhood. She said the dog seemed to come out of nowhere.
“Every time he would go off, he would keep attacking me,” Linda Warren said. “I (feared) for my life.”
The dog’s owner wasn’t home at the time, so Warren said she did everything she could to get the animal off of her, but the damage was done. Now, she’s recovering from injuries to her stomach, knees and hands.
“This finger, he ripped,” Warren said. “If he would have got it one more time, he would have ripped my finger off. I’ve got stitches on the side, on this little finger and all the way around that finger.” Read more
