Two postal workers attacked by dogs while delivering mail in Dedham area

DEDHAM, Mass. — Two postal workers are recovering after being attacked by dogs in separate incidents last Friday.

According to Dedham Animal Control, one of the attacks occurred in Dedham while the other occurred just over the town line in Hyde Park.

In the first incident, a letter carrier named Adam was placing mail into the mailbox while a woman was pulling into her driveway with her two dogs inside the car. Although the dogs were leashed, officials say one of the dogs, who is known to be protective of the home, pulled the leash from the owner and attacked Adam, biting him in the leg.
