In 2013, UPS driver, Sean McCarren decided to create a Facebook group in honor of all the four-legged friends that make the daily route of he and his fellow UPS buddies a whole lot more fun.

Naturally, it became super popular, and it now has over 1.4M likes on Facebook and 488K followers on Instagram. And why wouldn't it? Although the page's main focus is dogs, there are also many other furry friends such as geese, sheep, alpacas, cats, and deer!

Drivers post photos of their favorite furry critters that they meet along their routes, some of which they have become friends with over many years.

"When you're running into dogs all the time, it creates a bond when you see them every day," McCarren said. "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."

Sean says the page is so popular because there is no negativity attached to it. "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.

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

I mean, come on... this is the kind of content we have the internet for! Scroll down and prepare to have your heart warmed.

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.

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
