Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — Postal carrier Rebecca Flanders was making a delivery to a home in Onondaga County Dec. 8, 2018.
With the home’s usual mailbox knocked down from a snowplow, she approached the porch. The door was open, and the homeowner greeted her — along with a 70-pound dog.
The dog leaped on her, biting into her upper body.
“She was fortunate to get her right shoulder up, to keep it from going for her neck,” said attorney Duane Schoonmaker from William Mattar.
Schoonmaker said the attack left Flanders with injuries requiring two surgeries.
