In 2013, UPS driver Sean McCarren created a Facebook group to pay tribute to the furry friends that make daily routes a looot happier. And it took off like a pup in the park after you unleash it. Now, UPS Dogs has over 1.4M likes on Facebook and 488K followers on Instagram. However, once you scroll through its feed, it's easy to understand why the project has become so popular. There are alpacas, deer, geese, goats, sheep, chickens and even cats too! Drivers post pictures of the cute critters they've become acquainted with along their schedule, with some of them knowing their clients' dogs for years. It's that wholesome type of content the internet has been created for.

Hey, we want a treat... Olympia, washington

"When you're running into dogs all the time, it creates a bond when you see them every day," McCarren told HuffPost. "It's cool to meet some of the same dogs on the route, because they know who you are and they are excited to see you."

According to him, the appeal of the page is that it's all positive, not negative. "There's no views of what people think about this or that, just dogs and an occasional cat, donkey, turtle or bird."

"This page also shows the relationship we have with the community and the impact we have on other people's families. It also shows how awesome the drivers are," he added.

The company itself admires the page greatly as well.

"It's a good example of the relationships our employees build with their customers, two- or four-legged!" a spokesperson for UPS said.

There's a new sheriff in town...and her name is Cupcake. Her job....is maintaining law and order at the Bells Up Winery on the mean streets of Newberg, Oregon. Like the rough-and-tumble saloons of the old Wild West, the Bells Up Winery attracts more than its fair share of wine tasting drifters, cattle rustlers, outlaws, gamblers, horse thieves and assorted ne'er-do-wells...all of whom require a firm hand to keep them in line. Its a big job indeed, and one that only Cupcake can handle. She is predatory perfection personified; a pint-sized Pomeranian powerhouse in pink pineapple pajamas. A full forty-four ounces of fearless, fiery, four-legged, flesh-eating fury. She combines the tenacity of a pit bull, the razor-sharp fangs of a rattlesnake, the bone-crushing jaws of a hyena, the speed of a gazelle and the shrill, deafening howl of an air raid siren into a potent and compact package that can be concealed in a coat pocket or handbag until such time as her awesome power is deployed against the miscreant who dares to misbehave in her establishment. When the forces of evil conspire to prey upon the law-abiding citizens of the Newberg frontier, you can sleep easy knowing that the mighty Cupcake will be there to stop them! co.

So far the only vicious dog is the smallest. I am more scared of smaller dogs than bigger dogs.

I have two sheep who think themselves pet dogs and not sheep, they respond to commands like dogs and beg for food (they love banana chips, digestive biscuits and carrots) like dogs!

Does Bill have a human? If not Bill can of course be upscaled to personal assistant to the UPS delivery person and receive many many treats as payment.

When you see puppy.. you hold puppy, you cradle puppy, you love on puppy, you get puppy kisses, and last but not least you take picture with puppy! I love what I do. It is by far one of the most hardest and demanding jobs I’ve ever done. However it is also the best job I could ever ask for. As a ups driver I come across a lot of things. Crazy people crazy dogs.. and then I come across some really awesome people and really amazing dogs! But between me and you I’ll always prefer seeing a good ole puppy any day!  Louisville Kentucky
