Long gone are the days when dogs were every postman's worst nightmare. If 'UPS dogs' is anything to go by, it seems we have gone full circle and they are now best of friends! And it's not just dogs your friendly delivery guy encounters on his route.
There are alpacas, deer, geese, goats, sheep, chickens and, of course, cats too! What began as a simple Facebook page, set up by UPS driver Sean McCarren to celebrate the furry friends he and other drivers meet along the way, is now a phenomenon, with regular updates and hundreds of thousands of followers!
We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of our favorite cute animals that UPS deliverers have snapped on their routes, scroll down below to check them out for yourself and don't forget to upvote your faves!

Me too criminalgirl. You must not be so criminal if you have a kind heart, like it sounds you do! Big hugs!

I like it how all the animals looked happy, curious, excited... The cat? Not impressed. -_-
She looks happy to me. The slightly closed eyes, her relaxed pose. You just gotta learn how to speak cat!

What wonderful people to take in that kitten. Not only a kitten but a black kitten! People usually stay away from them. Thank you from all us animal lovers.
I hope that she gets to do the delivery runs with her dad - just like a dog would do. Just because she's a cat....
Black cats are so loving and affectionate and funny! I love all cats and have had all sorts as companions over the years, but black cats are truly just cuddle muffins! <3
That is soooo Awesome you were able to befriend a Ferrell cat. Eric and yourself must have magic energy that is loving. Good Job! "Duchess" is the purrfect name. I applaud all three of you!!!
Aaaw, what an awesome story... <3 On a random note, does anybody else think this guy looks a bit like ProJared?
I love it that it happens to be a black cat. I own 3 cats back home, which is 4735 miles away where I'm at now. Black cats are really something special.
She's beautiful! I also love and appreciate a great story like this one.
I am sure he is buzzing with those wheels in doggo heaven. RIP love.
Mom said veggies are good for health and you seem to be gaining weight my friend.
My little dog does a great high five - my older one gets confused so gives me a high ten!
Wow, great names! Pawnee is a legend at blackjack and he thunders justice!
You shall not pass. Wooha is that treat for us, see ya, do whatever you want.
This extremely strange dog breed is great - only downside is the ability, no, the desire, to eat everything!
I love that they haven't just given up on her. I would never give up on any of my dogs but it's a sad, sad thing that some people do. This is clearly a very special little and beautiful little girl.
I am sure they were planning a heist together, you hooman why you have to come back so early, our neighborhood cat was just about to show up and teach us to drive.
Now that's a Good Dog! That package would never make it to a person in our house. My older dog would have it in bits in seconds and my younger one would still be trying to crawl out from underneath it as she's teeny-tiny.
It's great that farm animals who roam a bit more freely, tend to get along.
oh I understand you!! I would have been so scared too!!! but awwwwww =0)
He comes to the truck and *complains.* He's the grumpy old man kitty.
Yep, I've been told the Blues are more chewy than other Staffies/Pitties. Our Blue has, so far, eaten part of my couch, parts of two chairs, the blinds on my back door, more remotes than I can count, and a hole in rear inside panel of my car. She was rescued by us at about a year old, and was definitely high in anxiety until she realized this was a forever situation. She's loads better now!
Beautiful dogs! Though they look rather like they're thinking 'I better get the biggest biscuit not the other one'!
Ha, ha! I hope you mean petted them instead - be a bit worried otherwise.
A warm hug to all UPS drivers. This has been the best thread in a long time
All the animals were so adorable and arghhhhhh! I'm so jealous, lucky UPS deliverers :)
I honestly don't know how these people can do their jobs. I would have a very hard time leaving the puppies and not just sit there all day hugging, smooching, petting, playing with them. Just dump a truck of puppies and kittens on me and I can die happy afterwards.
My UPS driver used to take time to play with my goats and chickens. No idea how he managed to stick to a schedule, but he sure enjoyed the route! ^_^

Was this supposed to make me emotional? So much beauty and love in those faces. I feel so guilty for how humanity has treated animals.
Is common that ups guys have dog treats? Cause its a very good idea.
Makes you re-think your career choice! Should be far more dogs in the work place.
so..for these UPS drivers having such friendships on their routes must mean a lot of people order a lot of s**t regularly in order for these drivers to make good friends with these animals..I'm lucky if l get something sent to me more than once a year and that is generally delivered by the postie into my letter box..also our dogs are supposed to be kept on property unless being walked on a leash..I'm Aussie by the way..
i now want to be a UPS driver so i can meet all the animals on my route!
I would love any job that makes me be sorrounded by animals, greeting and cuddling with them! This post is great!
I think if I was to move to the US and be a ups driver I would only stay on one route and not change.
The UPS Driver Application should read: Must be tolerant of lousy drivers on the road surrounding you. Must have no allergies Must be able to work 18 hours a day And do not sign if you do not have the LOVE of ALL animals . I am so happy all these people DID sign the application. Yipppeee! My favorite
Love every single one of them,so beautiful and intelligent souls,wish them all love and hundreds and thousands of treats.
UPS should use these drivers to make a series of ads. They would be super successful!
