For Holle Prigmore, the highlights of her days delivering mail for the US Postal Service are the dogs she encounters along her route, and Holly went well beyond the call of duty when she saw a homeowner’s dog in distress and took her to the vet.
One interaction took a scary turn last Friday when she saw Ginger, a black beagle mix, limping on the side of the road.
Holle said a Facebook page she follows helped her identify the snake as a copperhead. From there, she knew exactly what to do next.
Using the homeowner’s doorbell camera, she typed a message on her phone to let them know what happened, made some calls, and rushed Ginger to the vet.
Homeowner Kelsey Proctor expressed gratitude for Holle’s quick action and said Ginger is doing well, even though she’s still a little sore from the bite.
