Even small dogs at home can access low level letterboxes.
1000+ serious finger bite injuries on posties over the last decade alone! With many full or partial finger amputations too 😔 We need to follow Europe with a minimum letterbox height standard.

Proud to be representing @cwugmersey by speaking at this @MDSPNews dog safety event, Virtual reality is a future industry training tool in the waiting and anything that can help reduce dog attacks on workers and children must be given serious consideration
