Ellenore King-Voisin, from Farnborough, Hampshire, was delivering mail to a property with two dogs – one of which she was concerned had an aggressive temperament.
“The dog jumped up at me and bit me three times just above the right knee. When I looked down, I could see the flesh on my leg hanging,” she said.
She started screaming which caused the owner and his daughter to come rushing out. “I also startled the dog as it ran back into the house. I had to do my own first aid as the man and his daughter were crying,” she recalled
Ms King-Voisin was taken to A&E, where her wound was treated and she was given a tetanus jab. As a result of the attack, she was off work for three weeks.
“If I hear or see a dog now – any dog – I’ll freeze. I’ll literally stop and wait until the owner walks past me because there’s no way I’m taking a chance.
“I feel as though I have to be ready to fight off an attack rather than it happen and I’m not aware,” she said.
