Eddie,

sorry to hear about your injury, so far in my short career have only been nipped once but was fortunately
wearing long trousers so skin was not broken.

Just curious - what did management do about the dangerous dog on your delivery after you reported the first incident?

Did anyone visit the household concerned, were police involved or was a warning letter delivered?

Get the police now and let these tossers do some time in jail.
