The U.S. Postal Service has decided to enforce a decades-old rule forbidding mail carriers from feeding the dogs. The practice of bringing along doggie treats has, for some mail carriers, been a peace offering. The carriers hope to quell enmity between postal carriers and pets that dates back to the earliest mail delivery in 1775.

The Postal Service, however, believes that postal workers need to maintain the no-contact policy as the best way to deter dog bites and other skirmishes between postal workers and man’s best friend. Mail workers are split in their support of the rule.
