National Dog Bite Awareness Week campaign offers tips on the prevention of dog attacks.
Learn to recognize the warning signs that a dog is about to attack: tail high and stiff, ears up, hair on back standing up, and teeth showing.
Retired Business Service Network Representative Sal Porto and his
wife, Bobbi, also retired from the Postal Service, are the proud owners of
eight purebred English Cocker Spaniels. (L-R) Beau, Boo, Chloe, Pumpkin Pie,
Noah, Bandit, Ruffian and Sugar. This crew loves to play with one another on
their farm in Lutz, FL. They especially love to play in the water from their garden
hose. Besides their dogs, the Porto’s also
stay busy raising horses, goats, and chickens. To make sure there are no
issues, both Sal and Bobbi keep their dogs in the house during mail delivery
hours to ensure everyone’s safety.
Sometimes Sal Porto (above) treats his pups to a field trip at a
local dog-friendly beach.
