This UPS Driver Takes Instagram Photos With the Dogs on His Route and We Can’t Even

We tend to think that mail people and delivery drivers have a hard time dealing with dogs on the job, but it seems that we got it quite wrong. This UPS driver in Louisiana is proof that their daily routine is not filled with barks and barred teeth. To make sure we get the message, Jay takes pictures with the dogs on his route and posts them on Instagram with his own hashtag: #pupsofjay.

Jami Attenberg, one of the customers along Jay’s route, alerted the Twittersphere to her UPS guy’s affinity for dogs with a tweet. “I have extremely important news and it is this,” she said. “My sweet UPS guy has a hashtag of all the dogs in the neighborhood.” And in case anyone thought Jay was shirking his delivery duties to take pictures with adorable dogs all day, Attenberg also added, “He is very good at his job! Top notch guy!”

Another customer, Sarah, replied to Attenberg saying, “Omg Jami that is my sweet UPS Jay and this is a picture of him and my dog, Sophia.”

 

Indeed, a quick scroll through the #pupsofjay feed shows that Jay has probably taken photos with many dogs along his route. Some of them have even generated over 1,000 likes.
