Biting Dogs from front page
improvement from the previous year. The
number of dog attacks was 67 in 2017, Postal
Service figures show. Statewide, the number
is dropping too, from 911 two years ago to
791 last year. Knowing which houses keep
dogs has helped the carriers to avoid injuries.
The Post Office outfits delivery workers with
a handheld device for pet detection.
Knowing a dog is in the vicinity only
works so well, though. Many letter carriers
say they were bitten from behind as they
left the property. They have to be alert at all
times when entering or leaving a property.
The South Bay carriers will be attired in
dog bite awareness shirts on Saturdays for
the next three months.
The Postal Service’s technology supports
carrier safety in two ways. Handheld
scanners used by carriers to confirm customer
delivery have a feature that indicates
whether a dog lives at the address. The
Package Pickup application asks customers
to indicate if dogs are at their address when
they schedule package pickups, and carriers
receive alerts.
“Most dogs will never bite, but it is important
to remember that any dog can bite
regardless of breed or type,” cautions State
Farm Insurance. In 2017, the insurer said
it paid $132 million as a result of 3,600
dog-related injury claims. California was
the number one state for dog bites last year,
according to State Farm. Those claims reached
$18.7 million.
A data-reporting group for the insurance
industry estimated the average payout for a
dog bite claim exceeded $37,000. When a
postal employee is bitten, the pet owner is
liable for the injuries caused by the animal.
The Postal Service can sue to recover medical
expenses and damages, including the cost to
replace temporarily or permanently a carrier
who was attacked. Owners are responsible
for the actions of their pets under California
law, even if they didn’t have reason to believe
a pet was dangerous.
There’s liability for the Postal Service too
if it hasn’t done enough to protect employees
with warnings, protective measures and warnings
about where dogs live on mail routes
and whether the animal has been aggressive
in the past. L.A.-based law firms advertise
themselves as dog bite experts in the law.
A January attack on a mail carrier in Whittier
highlights the dangers from an aggressive
dog getting loose in a neighborhood. The mail
carrier was knocked to the ground and bitten
on the face by a pit bull mix, according to
Whittier news reports. She survived the Jan.
8 attack and was taken to the hospital for
treatment of her bite wounds. •
Postal carriers will wear this shirt on Saturdays during the summer
with a message for dog owners.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the proposed
Ordinance has been determined to be exempt
from CEQA review pursuant to Article
18: Statutory Exemptions, Section 15282(h).
This section of CEQA establishes a statutory
exemption for “the adoption of an ordinance
regarding second units in a single-family or
multifamily residential zone by a city or county
to implement the provisions of Sections 65852.1
and 65852.2 of Government Code as set forth
in Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources
Code. The ordinance is therefore exempt
from the provisions of CEQA.
PLEASE NOTE that pursuant to Government
Code Section 65009: In an action or
proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void,
or annul a finding, determination or decision
of the Planning Commission or City Council,
the issues raised shall be limited to those
raised at the public hearing in this notice or
in written correspondence delivered to the
Planning Commission or City Council at or
prior to the public hearing.
