Being a solar eclipse addict and a pictorial postmark enthusiast, it cannot get much better than this!
A big thank you to the fellow post-crossers who sent me these… They made me very happy.

I just received non-postcrossing mail with this USPS Dog Bite Awareness postmark today, and I would be very surprised if the person who sent it did anything special to get a pictorial postmark. I don’t see anything about it in the past couple of postal bulletins or with a google search (although I’m not sure I’m using the right words).
Do you know where to find more information about it? Is/was it a temporary default machine postmark? Is there a way to know what designs/when these are going to happen in advance?

I haven’t seen any articles on it, but it’s like the other pictorial postmarks they add to all mail sometimes. For example during holiday season.

It is a rotating slogan postmark the USPS uses instead of their flag cancellation, likely yearly. There is a bite awareness campaign between 2-9th of June.

I think the “Chimp-in-charge” is a member of our forum here. I’m glad they were doing it, and I’m sorry yours didn’t come out the way you wanted it, but it just seems a bit rude.
