Hector Hernandez, a professional dog trainer from Lansing, MI, visited several USPS sites in Kentucky-West Virginia District last month to talk about how to interact with dogs and avoid getting attacked.
At a stop in Elizabethtown, KY, Hernandez was joined by letter carriers and local USPS managers, including Alan Lewis, the district safety manager.
“I’ve seen the results of dog bites. We have carriers who will never return to work, and carriers that return and have PTSD issues. I’ve also been bitten,” said Lewis, a former letter carrier.
Hernandez brought his well-trained dog, Chankla, to help with demonstrations.
Hernandez will visit five sites in West Virginia later this month.
Global connections
For many customers, the Postal Service is a connection to the rest of the world.
So says Jodi Robertson, the new postmaster for Trenton, GA, a city of roughly 2,000 residents in the northwest corner of the state.
“I manage staff members who deliver to America daily, in a part of the country that might not otherwise be able to obtain goods,” Robertson told the Dade County Sentinel recently.
“My office is in a very rural area and some of our customers suffer from poverty. I always strive to provide excellent customer service and hold my employees to the same standard. I acknowledge that sometimes we may be the only person that some of the customers see on a daily basis.”
