USPS mail carrier Randall Bartling was attempting to deliver certified mail to the door of a Grand Island home on June 3rd when he was attacked by a black lab named Sammie.<\/p>\n
“He did end up going to the emergency room. The dog bit on the leg, let go, bit on the abdomen I believe, let go, arm, let go and jumped up and did get some spots on his face,” said Alyssa Nesiba, the lead Animal Control Officer. Sammie has been taken by Animal Control and is under quarantine.<\/p>\n
