“They keep on bringing it back to dogs. And I just want to get my mail,” said Ballard homeowner Randall  Ehrlich.

He is now suing the United States Postal Service for being on a “dog hold” that prevents him from receiving mail, and has been for nearly a decade.

“The regular mail carrier will not deliver to my residence,” Ehrlich said one of the people named in the suit.
