Adorable Pictures Of UPS Driver Posing With Dogs While On His Daily New Orleans Route

The everyday battle between the mailman and the dog is a long-running tradition, but UPS driver Jason Hardesty is calling a truce. While on his regular New Orleans route, the self-described “easily entertained UPS driver” likes to stop and greet the dogs he meets along his way and instead of barking and chasing him out of their territory, the adorable pups happily pose for a selfie.

Hardesty started posting Instagram selfies with his canine pals back in February 2018. Using the hashtag #pupsofjay, his weekly updates showcase the many adorable pooches who live in the area. From tiny puppies to huge hounds, Hardesty poses with each pet outside their home and introduces them to his followers by name. His charming pictures clearly show that Hardesty has a way with animals—each pup seems to enjoy the attention, and some are even captured giving him doggy kisses.
