A Northern Kentucky woman says her golden retriever died because a U.S. mail carrier ran it over repeatedly.
The U.S. Postal Service is investigating the claim, but the three-year-old dog’s owner says Nalah’s death was no accident.
“We walked in and I saw my dog at the foot of the stairs and she was already dead and it was really sad,” said Lisa Hamm, who is shocked, too, not only because Nahla was killed, but how it happened.

“She was a family member, part of the family,” said Lisa, whose father saw it happen near a park in Kenton Hills.
Nelson Hamm said a mail carrier got into a small postal vehicle. The dog followed it and had her head near the tires when the driver hit the gas. The vehicle wouldn’t go over the dog and Nelson said the carrier rocked it back and forth, spinning the tires until it finally did.
“When it ran up on her, he knew he was on something and her legs were going like this and he kept on going, gunning it, gunning it and gunning it,” said Nelson.
Nahla made it up and inside the house – but it was too late.
“I just started crying. The dog was laying there and I picked her up and just held her, but she was already dead,” said Nelson, who saw the carrier deliver a package down the street and then came back his way, but wouldn’t stop.
Postal investigators confirmed they are looking into this, but have to determine if it’s their driver and if there are other unknowns.
“We need an explanation of some kind but certainly can’t replace our pet,” said Lisa.
The Postal Service also said the worker will remain on the job – at least for now.
