That&#8217;s when one of the office&#8217;s postal carriers was severely bitten by an aggressive dog while delivering mail inside the mobile home park, located off Emmanuel Farm Road in Glynn County. Mail has not been delivered to the hardscrabble community of 76 mobile homes since.<\/p>\n<p>Transvilla residents now have to go to the post office at 805 Gloucester St. in downtown Brunswick to get their mail \u2014 residents like Juanita Vincent, who is 84 years old. The engine in her truck burned up over the summer, leaving her without transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Orlene Garcia, supervisor of customer services at the post office, sympathizes with the plight of Transvilla residents. But she said the prevalence of loose dogs in the mobile home park makes it unsafe for her mail carriers.<\/p>\n<p>The mail carrier who was bitten remains off duty, nursing a torn ligament from the attack. &#8220;The bite went right through her foot, and she still has not returned to work,&#8221; Garcia said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t have anyone else go in there and get bitten. There&#8217;s no control in the park. In the meantime, until we can come up with a solution, we have their mail here.&#8221;\u00a0 Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/dog-attacks-scare-postal-workers-away-from-hardscrabble-coastal-georgia-trailer-park\/kyHF6QXR7q7vkyOsBMi0uO\/\">AJC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28242\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Georgia-Bad-Dog.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Georgia-Bad-Dog.jpg 478w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Georgia-Bad-Dog-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Georgia-Bad-Dog-122x74.jpg 122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mail hasn\u2019t been delivered since last year By late last year, the defacement of mailboxes at Transvilla Mobile Home Park had already become a growing concern for the Brunswick branch of the U.S. Post Office.
