The postal service said that the mail companies trained to respect the dogs of the dog, but they said that the owners can help by securing their dogs at a time when the postal holder comes and ensuring that dogs are on the positions if they are outside this time.
The postal service also said that the population and children should not accept the mail from the carrier in the presence of a dog, as the dog may look at the carrier as a threat.
