Many of us have stopped in our tracks at the sight of a dog crossing our path on the street, or staring back at us through the gaps in the fence and there always is an urge to go over to them and give them a pet. UPS drivers are no exception to that urge and they've started a beautiful tradition to snap pictures with dogs they meet on their route at work. They even created a Facebook group called 'UPS Dogs' where they share their shots and experiences.
One of such drivers is Jason Hardesty from New Orleans, Louisiana. He describes himself as "a very easily entertained UPS driver" and that's evident in the photos he posts to his Instagram page.

He started sharing snaps of himself with dogs a little over a year ago, using a hashtag #pupsofjay to distinguish them from other shots. And since people like dogs and wholesome acts, it's small wonder that people flooded the man's page with likes.

As the 'UPS Dogs' group on Facebook shows, there are plenty of drivers across America who meet pups and snap photos with them on a daily basis. But it's not only dogs that they come across. Sometimes other animals appear in the shots shared by the drivers. Alpacas, deer, geese, goats, sheep, chickens... the UPS drivers have seen it all!

UPS or 'United Parcel Service' was founded in 1907, in Seattle, Washington, U.S., making it a company that's over a 100 years old. It has since branched out to a multinational brand that has 434,000 employees (as of 2016). The company offers a variety of services, of which the most prominent is package delivery.

Jay..!! If you EVER get on a UPS mission in Sweden... Or just Europe... LET ME KNOW! I'll meet you up! Anywhere! Both me and my owner is Very hugable! //paws up, (dah yes I can type I wasn't born yesterday..// Rudy, Yorkshire Terrier.
This guy has conquered a very important lesson in life... "Make friends with ALL the dogs" :)
is that even a lesson people have to learn? I just thought it was a given.

I LOVE JAY!!!!!!!! This needs to be turned into a calendar! 365 glorious photos!
The world may be a horrible place, but posts like this make it a bit better. Thank you for the dose of happiness in the morning <3
Gosh, after then pictures all I could think about was: is this guy single? Then I remembered that I am old...
I wanna meet Jay, I reckon he'd be a fun guy to hang around with! But I only own a cat....I DID have a dog, but she died.....Maybe Jay will not like me for being a cat owner.....sigh....Heck, Jay you is the man!
Jay has a wonderful smile and the pictures are priceless. Lol to The Cappy
With all the sadness in the world it is so wonderful to see this young man giving while getting a bit of sunshine in this hectic and many times confusing world. Thank you for this up story. Keep it up Jay. We need you now more than ever. Love you.
oh god, this combo is killing me! good looking, loves, dogs, has super happy expressions and smiles a lot? where do i sign up to be on his future gf list? LOL
I think he is a wonderful human who loves dogs! These pictures are beautiful and he has a beautiful smile as well.
I want a Jay as my route driver! I mean, I'm sure my route driver here is fine, but c'mon. He's no Jay!
Is it bad to say I prefer the UPS dogs series (that already exists) where they only photograph the dogs ?
Such a stupid comment from a most likely stupid person. Shame on you
