The Lenoir Police Department says on Thurday, around 1:55 p.m., officers responded to a call for a dog bite with injury on SW Norwood Street. When officers arrived to the scene, they say a woman had severe trauma to her right forearm and puncture wonds to her back and right leg.
The woman was identified as 47-year-old Kristi Goldsberry. Officers determined that Goldsberry, a postal worker, was delivering mail to the home. While Goldsberry was delivering a package to the homeowner at the front door, two Great Dane dogs pushed by the homeowner and attacked her, police say.
