UPS Driver Captures The Cutest ‘Clients’ He Meets On Routes, And People Can’t Get Enough (30 Pics)
There's a place on the Internet you can always count on when you're craving your daily dose of "awww". UPS Dogs is an online community for UPS drivers to share photos and videos of all the four-legged friends they make on their routes. Bored Panda already wrote about it here and here, however, some people think one of its members is as wholesome as this entire project.
Scott Hodges has loved pit bulls for as long as he can remember, and he used to have one of his own, too. Her name was Sheba and she passed away in 2004 at the age of 15.
But luckily, since Hodges has been a UPS driver for the past 32 years, he gets to see pitties every single day as he goes along his route. He sees a lot of other animals on the job, too. Like, a very friendly pig or a curious cow. He uploads pictures of these critters to his Facebook group and even though it doesn't have anywhere near the 1.8 million followers that UPS Dogs has accumulated, it can make anyone's day just as fast.

Her name is “Little Bit” and this is her first time ever coming near the big scary brown truck. She got extra biscuits for being so brave.
Over the years, Scott has gotten to know the pit bulls he meets on the job. Every day, as he makes the deliveries, however, Scott stops to say hi not only to his pit bull buddies, but to all the other dogs as well. By now, they know the man means well and can be trusted — Hodges always brings them love or treats, or both.
"I meet dogs 10-15 times a day and in 32 years I have never been bitten," he told Bored Panda. "Most of my fellow drivers like dogs but there are a few who are more cautious because they have been bitten."
Bentley the Beggar is bellowing at the injustice of being limited to 3 biscuits.
Oh, the suffering...
Hodges takes pictures of his meetings to keep track of his buddies. Yes, he has spent decades doing what he does, but the man considers himself lucky to be able to work where he can see pit bulls every single day, and he never gets tired of stopping by to greet his friends.
"I enjoy not being stuck inside an office," he said. "I am working outdoors in a rural area so I enjoy the view and being out in nature. And of course seeing the dogs."
Since the driver has his own route, he is often able to meet new dogs when they are puppies and to form a friendship with them that lasts a lifetime. "That is one of the best things about the job."
The thing is, I am basically just a rock star in a big brown limousine. I pull up, open the door, and a throng of my adoring fans is waiting to mob me. Keeping them all happy is a tough job, but someone has to do it!

She is a day late for Triple Biscuit Thursday, so she is trying to make me believe that Four Biscuit Friday is actually a thing.
Colby is 13 years old with a solid grey muzzle. He is the absolute master of The Begging Face.
What is he doing outside so late? His parents will surely be worried about him. Even old men have curfews.
They got the memo about Triple Biscuit Thursday. And the one in the back is using the Head Tilt just to make sure...
Smart little guy is staring right at the box of biscuits on my dash...
