Looking back, postie Douglas Fry describes it as a “Keystone Cops” moment. But it was no laughing matter when a german shepherd attacked the postie in Brisbane. Mr Fry quickly realised he had nowhere to go when he saw the imposing dog race across the street towards him. The dog’s owner was outside gardening but didn’t respond to Mr Fry’s pleas, forcing the postie to hatch an escape plan.
“It is very much a frequent recurring issue for us and a very concerning one,” he said on Monday. “Literally one hour ago we had a Brisbane postie report a dog bite.” Dog attack laws and penalties differ across states and territories, with South Australia one of the latest to adopt harsher penalties for owners including fines of up to $100,000 and four years in jail.
