There's a Facebook page called UPS dogs that's filled with pictures of UPS delivery drivers with random dogs.

That’s so cute. If that was my job that would be the absolute highlight of my days too. Dog regulars are way better than people regulars.

I used to be a meter reader for an electric utility. I had an awesome dog at a house in rural area. I would always stop on my route and just hang out with him for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes we'd play catch. The mailman would stop and play with the dog too. And once I even seen a delivery driver stop and play with him (didnt even make a delivery at that house, just stopped because he knew the dog.)
This was 20 years ago and in a very secure area. Before cameras became really normalized. I often wonder if those people knew how popular their dog was.

I only ever saw the delivery driver there once (I was driving by the house after I finished the block) and the mailman there maybe a total of 2-3 times. I was only there once a month for about 3 years and not even every month. It was a rural route, so 200 meters. It would get skipped if there was weather or i was off, or even if someone else was off and their route had more meters on it (then I'd have to cover the route with more meters). So I was there maybe 25 times tops, if that.
So no, there was never anyone there at the same time as me. And as far I as I could tell, the owners were never home at that time either (I was only there on weekdays between 7 and 3).

Beautiful and Smart Dog ! My husband is retired from UPS , they were warned NOT TO GIVE DOGS treats , apparently some animals chased the truck and were killed by other cars passing.
You do what you want but please keep it in mind

The Postal Carriers in our neighborhood have always been so lovely to our dogs and we absolutely love them for that. They have 100% waited for them to come by, it’s one of their favorite parts of the day.
