A postman had his finger bitten off by a dog as he pushed a letter through their box

A woman tried claiming the postman who had his finger bitten off by her dog as he pushed post through the letterbox had it coming - because he was 'trespassing.' Veteran postie Keith Bourne lost the tip of his ring finger after Emma Knell's Staffordshire bull terrier tore it off during a routine delivery. Knell, 37, tried claiming the postie had been trespassing on her land on April 18 when the attack happened. She also told police that her dog always reacted when the post was delivered and frequently tried to grab it.
