A postal worker said she will “never quite be the same person” after she was attacked by a dog

A postal worker said she will “never quite be the same person” after she was attacked by a dog while doing a morning round.

Sharing her experience to persuade pet owners to be more responsible, Katy Davies suffered five puncture wounds, two which required stitches and tendon damage after a dog sunk its teeth into her leg while working in Bristol in January.

Royal Mail said there was 2,019 dog attacks on its workers in the last year, which it said is “unacceptably high”.

Davies said: “One of the puncture wounds took weeks, if not months, to heal properly, and I still live with the effects of the injury today.”
