It’s not commonly known that delivery personnel and dogs get along very well. It’s true that occasionally our pets have a tendency to act a little nippy, mistaking the mailman for an intruder or chasing the FedEx vehicle away from our house.

However, occasionally, dogs and delivery drivers get along just great, suggesting that their competition may be a little exaggerated.
One UPS guy, in particular, has made it his goal to snap pictures with everyone he meets because he loves animals. And from the pictures, they appear to love him back.

The driver in question is Jason Hardesty, also known as @jhardesty on Instagram, where he bills himself as “a very easily entertained UPS driver.”

Taking selfies with animals in New Orleans is one of the ways Jason passes the time while working.

But perhaps the cats do… or perhaps they’re simply generally grumpy:

Sometimes he’ll snap a picture with an animal other than his own:

However, it’s evident that dogs of all sizes and shapes are his biggest admirers.

It’s amazing to see the genuine happiness these pets bring Jason in these photos, and it’s obvious the dogs like the attention as well.

I hope he continues to locate more pets to capture and that this wonderful photo series continues!

Tell this sweet story!
