(May 17, 2007)--It looks like mail carriers have a better chance of being bitten in California than any place else in America.

As Dog Bite Awareness Week kicks off Thursday, the Post Office is releasing information on where the biggest problems are for carriers, and noting safety tips for dog owners.

The New York metropolitan area had no record of a mail carrier bitten last year.

Santa Ana, Calif. had the most: 96.

In fact, of the top-five most likely places where mail carriers are bitten, three are in California.

One carrier in Long Beach needed 50 stitches in his face after being attacked by three dogs.

He's asking pet owners to train their animals, even if they seem docile.

After the New York metro area, next safest is Alaska, followed by Honolulu, Maine and Montana.

At the other end, following Santa Ana, are Houston, Sacramento, Los Angeles and South Florida.
