Golden Retriever Falls In Love With The Local Delivery Men, Her Owner Starts Capturing Their Daily Routine On Camera

This seven-year-old goofball is proof that dogs really are a man’s best friend, or, in this case, a mailman’s best friend. A series of videos shows Pippin, a golden retriever, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the local mailmen and then receiving long-awaited pats by her favorite people. Her owners say that Pippin has always been a friendly dog, but over the years she’s developed a particular affection and love for the local mail carriers who, seemingly, love the golden retriever just as much.

“Pippin has always been very friendly with everyone, especially our mailmen,” Pippin’s owner Kayla told Cater News. “She loves our postmen, our FedEx guys, our UPS guys, and, you guessed it, even the ice cream truck guy.”

And sometimes, treats or rides around the neighborhood

In fact, Pippin is so lovable, she even got a man who was scared of dogs to become her friend. “Our FedEx guy was scared of dogs and wouldn’t come to our front door with a package for the longest time, but we did some sensitization training with him and over the course of a year, he became best friends with Pippin,” Kayla told the media.

She even became friends with a mailman who was afraid of dogs

The local mailmen and delivery guys formed a friendly bond with Pippin and now, each time they come to her house, they give her pats, rides around the neighborhood, or treats.

“UPS leaves Pippin a bone on the front porch even if no one is home. They always let her get in the truck. One time, she raced to the back of the truck and stole our UPS man’s sub sandwich and he was so sweet about it,” Pippin’s owner shared.

One thing Pippin does hate is seeing her favorite people leave

“They know to expect to see Pippin run out to them daily and they accept her so graciously,” Kayla told Cater. “The hardest part is getting her to leave their mail truck. She hates to see them go.”

The seven-year-old golden goofball shares her home with Frankenstein—an adorable, fluffy guinea pig. Apparently, the furry duo gets on wonderfully and loves playing together.

If that tail could go just a bit faster, I think she'd take off like a helicopter! When I was a teen, I had a rather large male GSD who could be quite the home protection unit, Loyd the milkman was the only person he allowed in the house if nobody was home. Back in those days, the milkman was allowed to come in, rummage thru the fridge and figure out what you needed and stock you up. Sabaka the GSD considered him a part of the family I guess and didn't do the scary "don't come in" bark, Loyd got the "Happy to see you" yips ;)

I think we need videos of Pippen and Frankenstein interacting as well.

We're really not supposed to contact your dogs, though. It's hard not to (Bruce Wayne and Cleo are my BDFs, best dog friends) but it's not safe for us.
