These UPS drivers must actually look forward to Mondays because it means they get to visit with friendly doggos on their delivery routes. Many of these drivers take photos of their canine pals and share them on a Facebook group called UPS Dogs.
A man named Sean McCarren started the delightful community five years ago. Having worked at UPS for 17 years, he says that meeting the dogs along his routes is “one of the very best parts” of driving “the big brown truck.” They’ll run up to the vehicle when it arrives—some even hop in—or greet him at the front door. “I wish we could just hang out with the families and their dogs all day,” McCarren laments, “but it’s just not feasible.” Even so, these small interactions are worth it.
Thanks to UPS Dogs, UPS drivers from across the US can share photos, videos, and stories about their close encounters with puppers and sometimes other animals too.
Some drivers make sure to bring dog treats with them, which helps explain just how eager some of these doggos are to greet the humans driving the big brown trucks. But some of them clearly just want to say hello.
Follow UPS Dogs on Facebook for a regular dose of heartwarming photos of excited and affectionate puppers and the UPS drivers who adore them.
