UPS (United Parcel Service) drivers have a tough job. They deliver packages all day long, rain or shine, to various addresses, often facing difficult situations such as traffic, construction, or tricky navigation. However, they also have a unique opportunity that not many people get to experience – meeting the cutest dogs while on duty. This delightful aspect of the job has been captured in a Facebook group called “UPS Dogs,” which was created in 2013.
The group quickly gained popularity, and now it has over 1.9 million followers. It features daily posts from UPS drivers all over the world, showing off their furry friends and the heartwarming interactions they have with them. The dogs come in all shapes and sizes – from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes, from fluffy Pomeranians to sleek Greyhounds. Some are waiting eagerly by the front door while others greet the drivers as they pull up in their brown trucks. Here we have compiled 40 photos from the Facebook group to brighten up your day. So, scroll down.
