USPS mail carrier attacked by dog while working in north Houston neighborhood

HOUSTON — A postal worker was bit by a dog this week while he was delivering mail in a neighborhood off Airline and West Gulf Bank.

Residents in the neighborhood weren’t surprised and said loose dogs are a constant problem.

The United States Postal Service worker said it was not the first time he had been bit.

But this time was worse than any before.

Villareal said the latest dog attack has taken the joy away from his job. He said he was delivering mail along Colendale Drive when he saw a barking dog chasing after him.
