National Dog Bite Prevention Week is nearly upon us and that can only mean one thing: The U.S. Postal Service will receive its 5-day mail delivery?

Well, here me out. The USPS is a staunch supporter of National Dog Bite Prevention Week (May 17-23), which calls attention to one of the nation’s most commonly reported public health problems: dog bites.

… besides helping the USPS emerge from its fiscal crisis, wouldn’t one less day of mail delivery mean fewer letter carriers being bitten by dogs?

If you have read it, you know it ended with a bit of a cliff-hanger: did Mr. Donovan get his old route back? Did Lucky ever see him again?

We can now reveal the true answers to those questions: No! and more importantly, YES!

Arthur Donovan apparently didn’t ever get his old route back, but he did retire less than a year after the transfer. And what did he do as soon as he retired? Started visiting his old friend Lucky every day. The story of Arthur and Lucky’s reunion was a national story, just like the original story the year before. This clipping is from a Corpus Christi newspaper.
