POSTIES are calling for a crackdown on dangerous dogs to better protect workers after a horrific attack.

Their call comes after a German shepherd severely injured postal worker Kirsteen Hobson.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) met SNP ministers yesterday to discuss urgent reforms to current legislation.

The posties' union said it was "deeply dissatisfied" with what it described as a lack of progress in strengthening the laws that are meant to protect the public, particularly postal a workers, from dog attacks.
