Good evening everyone as the warm weather has started I would like to remind everyone , as letter carriers, share the streets and neighborhoods with beloved pets, especially dogs.
While these furry companions bring joy to many, they can sometimes pose risks to our safety.
So, let's work together to ensure a safe and harmonious environment for all.
Firstly, I urge all pet owners to secure their dogs during mail delivery hours.
Even the friendliest of dogs can become protective of their territory, so a little precaution goes a long way in preventing accidents.
Secondly, if you're expecting a delivery and have a dog at home, please restrain or confine your pet to a safe area before opening the door to receive your mail and packages.
This simple step can prevent potential confrontations and ensure the safety of both the letter carrier and your beloved companion.
Lastly, let's foster a culture of understanding and cooperation between letter carriers and pet owners.
By being aware of each other's presence and taking necessary precautions, we can create a safer environment for everyone involved.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation in keeping our streets and neighborhoods safe for all."
