In a disturbing incident last week in Lawrence County, a female delivery driver was viciously attacked by two dogs while trying to make a delivery. The harrowing event took place on Thursday on Valley Road as the driver was exiting her vehicle. Shockingly, the customer who had placed the order believed the dogs were safely contained in their kennels at the time.
However, the dogs managed to escape through a doggie door and launched a sudden assault on the unsuspecting delivery driver. Despite the customer’s efforts to restrain the aggressive animals, they were unable to prevent the attack. The brave victim managed to fight her way back to her vehicle, seeking refuge from the ferocious dogs.
Upon the authorities’ arrival, deputies interviewed the victim, who was receiving medical attention from emergency services. The customer revealed that the dogs belonged to a family member residing at the property. Fortunately, the owner of the dogs arrived at the scene and was able to provide vaccination records for the animals.
It was discovered that the female driver had made deliveries to the residence on several previous occasions without encountering the dogs. Tragically, the victim suffered multiple lacerations as a result of the terrifying ordeal. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and containment of pets to prevent such attacks from occurring in the future.
