Residents may soon see a paw print sticker on their mailbox in an effort to prevent dog attacks on postal workers.

The local post office will place a paw print sticker on mailboxes where dogs are in the immediate area, according to a news release from the U.S.P.S. on Tuesday.

As part of the U.S. Postal Service's dog bite awareness campaign, letter carriers are applying paw print stickers to some mailboxes across the country.
