The driver who was attacked said the woman walking the dog took off with the dog.
Now, the driver's arm is bandaged up and she is off the job recovering.
Sharonville police are investigating what happened, but the driver said one thing is clear: the dog needs a different environment.
"I was in shock that a dog ran up on me because, like, I deliver every day to houses that do have dogs," Asia Turnbow said.
Many days are delivery day for Turnbow.
Most would say she is a welcome sight with Amazon packages in hand and a big smile on her face.
But her day on Wednesday, would drive all of us to tears.
"Basically, the gash is probably like this big and this wide," Turnbow said as she described an area where she was bitten.
She said a gray pit bull being walked bit her while she made deliveries at Waterstone Place Apartments in Sharonville at about 3:30 p.m.
"As I'm walking by, I'm like, 'Oh your dog is cute' and I kept walking and next thing you know, the dog ran up and attacked my shirt. So, I thought it was just my shirt that it ripped. Until I realized that it was bleeding," Turnbow said.
Turnbow loves dogs and has two herself.
But she said this dog was aggressive, pulling a harness and a woman walking it.
"He was about 150 pounds. He was a big dog. My dog is 110 and he was bigger than her," Turnbow said.
She said the woman took off with the dog.
Turnbow said she called for help and then walked to the front office alone and hurt.
"I went to the hospital. Spent probably three to four hours there, of them trying to figure out what to do next with it because the way it is, it's not repairable," Turnbow said.
She said she's worked for Amazon more than a year handling thousands of packages.
She's never been bitten.
"If you can't control your dog, then you shouldn't have the dog," Turnbow said.
Now, Turnbow said she is too hurt to work and frustrated the woman left without hesitation.
"That could have been a small dog or even a child it could have bit instead of me," she said.
