The testimony by a female UPS driver attacked by a trio of German Shepherds while delivering a letter in western Pennsylvania was chilling, as reported by KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh:

“I pulled up, beeped the horn,” the driver, Amy Demi testified in district justice court against the dogs’ owner. “The first dog came right at me. I said ‘Oh my god.’ The dog ripped my calf open, it looked like a shark bite. The two other dogs followed. The attack felt like forever. I’m here to deliver a letter, that’s my job. His job is to make it safe for a delivery person to get that to him.”

Despite the graphic testimony, the dogs’ owner, Matthew Zavarella of Westmoreland County, Pa, was found not guilty on three summary counts of violating the state’s dog containment statue in the August 2018 attack.

Because Zavarella’s three attack-trained shepherds mauled the UPS driver as she was delivering a letter to Zavarella’s residence, he didn’t technically violate the statute as the dogs never left the property, his attorney argued. And the judged ruled in his favor, KDKA reported.

But legal issues stemming from the dog mauling aren’t over.

Lawyers for the 41-year-old Demi have filed a $50,000 negligence lawsuit against Zavarella, KDKA notes.

As for the dogs, their fate has already been decided. All three shepherds in the attack were put down shortly after the August 2018 incident, the news station reports.
