Zelda Fleming was doing her final drop-offs for the day on Lourdes Drive South, when a woman opened the door at one property and two rottweilers ran out.
“She opened the door and the two rottweilers just came out at me,” said Fleming to First Coast News.
“Why would you open the door, you could have just waited until I lay the package down and gotten in my vehicle,” she continued.
The dogs proceeded to attack Fleming, who had to visit the emergency room after the ordeal. “The flesh was out,” said the 56-year-old driver of one injury, which saw skin of around two inches wide ripped from her arm. Fleming also suffered bites and bruises on her legs.
“I was hollering for them to get the dogs off me, and he just wouldn’t move,” Fleming said of a man also at the property as she fought off the rottweilers. Eventually the woman came to her aid, so Fleming was able to escape to her car.
Rottweilers are often used as guard dogs, can weigh up to 135 pounds and grow to 27 inches tall.
There were no ‘beware of the dog’ signs or warning signs on the property, claimed Fleming.
