Narrative

An employee pulled into a driveway to deliver parcels that would not fit into a mailbox. The employee got out of their vehicle to retrieve parcels out of the back. As her back was turned, a dog came from behind and bit her right forearm and hand, removing a section of skin from the forearm. The employee was hospitalized.
