Camera captures Mailman (Video)

Mailmen and dogs are typically known to be enemies – more on one side than the other. It’s a common trope that dogs have some kind of disagreement with the mailman, leading them to bark and chase after them. Perhaps the dogs believe they are nobly defending their home by chasing away this potential invader, or maybe they prefer to be the deliverer of mail and are upset that the mailman has that opportunity instead.

Aaron Hernandez, a Texas-based man who owns 5 adorable doggies, was recently looking at his CCTV when he spotted a mailman doing something quite unusual. “He’s a new mailman around the neighborhood and I noticed it a couple of times,” Hernandez said. “I thought it was time to share with everybody!”  The video, in which we see the moment between the busy mailman and Hernandez’s doggies, is going viral. “I think it was really caring and loving that he took time out of his busy day to do that,” said Aaron Hernandez.

Doing something quite unusual

If only each of us got to interact with dogs at work each day, the way this kind mailman does, the world would be a much better place. And the cherry on top to this sweet story: this isn’t the first time this encounter has happened. Aaron shares that he has seen the postal worker stop by his gate before. I think it’s great that Aaron is okay with the mailman spending a few minutes out of his day with the friendly dogs. Watch the video, what he does is amazing!
