UPS delivery men know their routes, This means you never have to worry about getting your
packages on time.
Every day, or every couple of days he would visit the same houses and even began to spark
up a friendship with the locals.
He began his day like any other, loading his truck up with different packages he needed
to deliver.
He saw one package and knew the address on the label and started looking around, trying
to figure out why he knew it.
It was when he started walking from one house to the next that he realized they had a big
dog on their side of the road.
This beautiful dog made it clear that there was nothing for it in this world and it just
wanted to be loved.
The UPS driver was confused, but still continue to park his van and get the packages ready
for delivery.
As the UPS driver was delivering the package, he saw the dog walking towards him too.
The driver was used to dogs barking through fences or behind doors, but a dog coming straight
towards him made him very nervous.
It seemed like a simple meeting, but it ended up getting really close with our friendship.
Days passed and deliveries to the same house where more than twice a week.
Every time he delivered to one particular house the dog; a golden retriever was always
there waiting.
He never knew if the dog belonged to anyone, but he supposed it did as it stayed in one
area.
The man knew he would have to deliver to the same house again.
So when the time for the end of his shift came, he went to a pet store and bought a
big bag of treats.
Excited, he stashed them inside his truck for the next time he would see the big dog.
Still on one day in particular, the dog would find another way to get what he wanted.
The day came when the delivery man had to make the package delivery to the house where
the dog would always be waiting for him.
As he got out of the truck, he grabbed a couple of treats and headed towards the door of the
house.
When he had successfully delivered the package, he turned around and fed the dog a couple
of treats while he rubbed his ears and belly, the UPS driver and the golden retriever struck
up an unlikely friendship.
On that fateful day, the ups driver had to rush out of his home.
Consequently, forgetting to buy more treats.
He didn't realize he was not carrying any treats until he got to the house and tried
to look for them inside the truck.
There was no luck, not even a one small dog treat was left.
As he pulled up, he saw the pup, but shamefully didn't want to draw his attention.
Then the delivery man grabbed the package and headed towards the Home Store.
Little did the delivery man know this pup had another idea.
The driver saw the golden retriever disappear and he thought that the dog must have known
that today, he didn't have any treats.
So he went back to wherever it was.
The UPS man went ahead with his day, delivering packages all around the neighbourhood.
His shift was almost over, but he still had two houses that needed their deliveries.
He was driving when he heard a thump coming from where the packages were stored.
What the man didn't know was that the sneaky golden retriever was hiding inside his truck.
The delivery man left the back of his truck open when he delivered the packages where
the dog was always hanging around and the dog decided to take matters into his own paws
to get his treats.
The driver had no idea, he was driving around with him.
It was time for the driver to make his second last stop in the package he had to get was
hefty in size.
He opened the back of his truck up and right in front of him, eyes wide, tongue hanging
and tail wagging was the beautiful pup.
To say that the UPS driver was surprised would be a colossal understatement.
The driver stood there frozen, he had no idea if this dog even had a home, what could he
do?
Should he take it to the shelter or back to where he always saw him wandering around.
The driver had no idea what to do?
but one thing was clear.
He still had one delivery to do, and this dog was going to come with him.
As he pondered his options.
He still was undecided.
Admittedly, this pure-bred dog belonged to someone, it's not every day you see a golden
retriever abandoned by the side of the road.
He decided to take him back to the house where he would always see him.
But as he never saw the dog inside of the house, he left him by the side of the road
near where he would always be.
The UPS driver, chuckled about his adventure with the dog and told everyone at work what
had happened to him.
He was never going to forget the treats again.
But then someone had heard what had happened and immediately grabbed their phone and show
the driver a picture that was going viral.
The picture was of his dog friend, what was going on?
But then as soon as he read the note, everything became clear.
The man inside the house where the pup would always be lying around outside was indeed
the pup’s owner.
He had seen everything unfold before him, as he saw the dog get out of the UPS truck
the day before.
This man quickly took to Reddit and posted a picture of his pooch with a note around
his neck.
The note read, “the UPS man, forgot to throw me a cookie.
So, I snuck into his truck and took a ride around the neighbourhood.
He had to deliver me back to my house.”
Bewildered, the UPS driver couldn't believe this had gone viral and there he was the day
before considering that the dog might even be abandoned.
He went back to the house and got to talking with the man who had received many packages
from the delivery man.
The owner of the dog told the driver how the dog would wait for him every day by the side
of the road.
And he would watch their encounter from the window.
When he couldn't find his dog, the day of the incident, he became very nervous.
But then saw him pull his truck up and deliver the dog back.
Tons of Redditors who saw the picture of the dog with the note were entirely enthused and
shared the picture, making it viral and even hit the headlines.
Apparently, this kind of behaviour between mailman, delivery man and pets is a lot more
common than anyone thought.
Nevertheless, the UPS driver never once forgot to buy treats again.
And these two are the best of friends.
