One of their drivers in New Orleans has a wonderful Instagram, which features the dogs, cats, and other critters on his route, along with the many interesting buildings--and his adorable daughter. His New Orleans photos are stunning! He has been posting for a while, and has quite the following. If UPS didn't want him taking photos with the critters, they'd have stopped him by now.

What better way to make friends with potentially hostile canines on his route than to offer them biscuit treats? That keeps them happy and eagerly anticipating his visits instead of growling and tearing a piece out of his pant leg.

With pictures from UPS drivers all over of the dogs on their routes. It's sweet.

And so is the driver. He takes the time to get to know his clients, and is obviously well rewarded!
