You know the age-old tale of mail carriers and dogs being archnemeses? Well, forget everything you’ve heard because there are some adorable exceptions to the rule. It turns out, some UPS drivers have become best buds with the pups on their routes. Some dogs eagerly await the big brown truck as if it’s Santa’s sleigh coming down the street.
Sure, we can’t ignore the fact that some dogs are naturally protective of their territory, leading to less-than-friendly encounters. But amidst the barks and growls, there are moments that are just too heartwarming to overlook. These moments remind us that with a bit of patience, training, and a few tasty treats, even the fiercest guard dog can become a delivery day fan.
Enter the UPS Dogs Facebook community—a delightful corner of the internet dedicated to showcasing these unexpected friendships. From wagging tails to excited jumps, these dogs greet their UPS pals with all the enthusiasm of a kid on Christmas morning. It’s a beautiful reminder that even in the most routine parts of our day, like getting a package delivered, there’s potential for joy and connection.
