Several years ago, my neighbor's Doberman jumped over his fence into our yard and bit the mail lady on the hand causing her to drop her mailbag and then bleed all over our front porch. After hearing her scream, we rushed to the door and observed her bleeding and the dog being dragged away by our neighbor who was repeatedly punching it in the snout. We sat her down, brought her a clean towel to wrap her hand, provided her a phone (which she asked for) to call her supervisor, we went out and picked up her spilled mail and brought the bag back to her, and then waited by her side until a supervisor came to the scene to take her to a doctor. Within two days we received a letter stating we were being sued.

If the neighbor's dog ever jumps over his fence again and attacks the mail lady, rest assured she'll bleed a very long time before anyone comes to her assistance.
