I know sometimes UPS drivers get a bad rap when it comes to dogs. Many of us have heard bad stories. My brother is a UPS driver and I can tell you he would go out of his way for a dog, and he loves his two rescues very much.
Last week a UPS driver received great press/kudos in NY I believe, for helping rescue a stray that was dumped. And today my UPS driver did me a solid. After he delivered my box and was leaving, I opened the door to retrieve the package and Buddy Love got out and took off- without his collar. No big deal, he won't run away but my driver doesn't know that. These guys are in a hurry, on long days and delays are not always welcome. And there goes my WILD MAN, naked and free at last!
But my driver got out of his truck, and scooped Buddy up into his arms. He told me he was afraid he would run him over by accident. He walked Buddy down my drive and handed the little black and white runt over to me. What a kind gesture. Then he also told me he has 3 rescue dogs of his own and just had to put down one of his dogs and it was about to kill him. His new rescue is 7 that he just got from a puppy mill bust. It was socially awkward and terrified of everything. I was proud that he took one from a rotten puppy mill.
I think good comes in all shapes and forms and hope that we can all share more good stories as some of these bad people are copy cats and looking for attention. How you treat animals is generally how you treat others.
So THANK YOU UPS Drivers for your safe driving and kindness to animals. Even crazy Buddy.
