People are very fond of keeping dogs. Dog lovers feel that people who are not dog lovers should also love their pets the same way they love their animals. But they forget that their dogs, even if they treat them lovingly, can become aggressive with strangers. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the owners to protect others from their pet dog. For this reason, a program was run in America, under which a sticker was placed on the mail box (Paw Print Sticker on Mailbox Meaning) to protect postmen from pet dogs.
If you are an Indian and have visited America, you may see mail boxes (Why Mailboxes have paw print stickers) outside people’s homes there. Mail boxes are actually boxes in which postmen leave letters. Later the homeowners take out the letters from their mail boxes. People put stickers with claw marks on these mail boxes. You will see these stickers only in America, but this is an amazing idea and if people in India also put it outside their homes, then they can protect the delivery boys coming to deliver from the attacks of their dogs.

This is the meaning of the claw sticker on the mail box
According to Reader’s Digest, many people in America put dog paw stickers on their mail boxes to inform the postmen that they have pet dogs at home. In this way they signal the postmen to be cautious. In 2020, the US Postal Services launched a campaign called the PAUSE Program. They started putting claw stickers on mail boxes in some cities of the country.
There were stickers of different colors
The yellow sticker meant that the dog lived in the house next door and the orange sticker meant that the dog lived in the same house in which they were going to deliver the letter. In this way, if any new postman ever went to that area to deliver a letter, he would know that there was a dog in the house. This program is no longer active, but these stickers are still seen in many mail boxes. Now postmen in America have become high-tech. While scanning the courier, his scanner itself alerts him whether there is a dog in the house where he is going to deliver the goods or not. This is being done because many postmen had reported being attacked by dogs.
