Tell us about the attack

6 years of carrying mail in Texas City, even knowing the risks when I was sworn into this federal entity, you couldn’t make me believe I would be attacked by a pit bull. In real life!!! They couldn’t get him off my leg. They couldn’t get him off,  yall 😢 😭. The fear I had. The screaming for my daddy was piercing. Supervisor screaming: Gregory, try to RELAX! Stretcher in the street yall. All the bells and whistles.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
Stepping off my mail truck is now stressful. Leaves rustling behind me as I deliver mail is stressful. I’ve lost all trust I once had for pit bulls. My daughters now have anxiety. It was a tough time for my family.

Legal Consequences
Ongoing law suit

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
Pit bulls are generally territorial. Most dogs are. But pit bulls have that label and stand on it. Be mindful of mail carriers who have nowhere to go during an attack. Lock your pit bulls up. Keep us safe. We just wanna deliver safely and go home.
