Narrative

A letter carrier went up on a porch to deliver mail to a home when a dog came out of an open window in the screen door and attacked her, biting the left side of her face. A second dog also attacked, biting her on the right calf. The employee was hospitalized and required reconstructive surgery on her facial wounds.
