SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio letter carrier says a small fan she wore around her neck may have saved her life when a dog jumped a fence and attacked her while she was delivering mail.
Fiona Hudson, a U.S. Postal Service carrier, was bitten several times on Nov. 19 near North Navidad and West Craig Place.
She said the dog knocked her to the ground and went for her neck, but her wearable fan got in the way.
Photos of Hudson’s injuries show deep puncture wounds on her arms.
Homer Hernandez, President of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Alamo Branch 421, says Hudson feels lucky to be alive and is now focused on healing so she can eventually return to her route.
