but Peggy the tiny Yorkshire terrier is deemed so ferocious by Britain's Royal Mail that it has halted postal deliveries to the entire street where she lives. Dubbed the “Beast of Dorset Gardens” after the street's name, the 15-centimeter (six-inch) pooch is accused of terrorizing postmen and neighbours alike in the central English city of Northampton. The Royal Mail said in a letter to residents that it had halted deliveries to the street since Dec. 7 after Peggy had attacked a postman. Her owners told the local newspaper that Peggy is all bark and no bite. But the family's neighbours – who have been forced to make a 14-mile (22 kilometers) journey to pick up their mail – think differently. “It is a vicious little thing and I have seen it going for the postman,” one of them told the paper, asking not to be named. – Agence France
