This Mailman Does the Sweetest Thing for Dog Who Loves Delivering Mail

Dogs have a sense of childlike wonder and the ability to get excited about some of life’s simplest pleasures that is only comparable to that of a little human. We see a ball flying through the air, they see the Olympic games. We come home after a long day, dogs can barely keep it together when we walk through the door. We don’t blame them. Dogs who are lucky enough to have a home, usually have a pretty cushy life. They get to nap whenever they want, there are always toys to play with, and of course, they have the companionship of their human guardian. Without any responsibility, dogs are able to take joy in the little things.

Pippa, for instance, is a golden retriever who loves collecting the mail. That’s right. Despite all the scenes we’ve seen on television over the years featuring a grouchy mailman and a dog who won’t stop barking, it seems that this type of friendship is, in fact, possible! The relationship between Martin Studer, an Austrailian mailman, and Pippa is pretty simple. Martin walks up to the house, Pippa runs outside to get the daily mail, and both go along their merry way. But, what happens when Pippa’s human family happens to not have any mail?

Well, knowing that Pippa lives to collect the daily postage, Martin doesn’t just let the golden retriever leave empty-handed … err … pawed. Instead, as he shared on his Facebook page, he improvises by creating some mail for Pippa!

We can barely handle the cuteness. You can just tell from the look in Pippa’s eyes that she loves her daily ritual. 

Pippa is living proof that dogs and postmen can indeed be friends. And that clearly, it can be adorable. 

Pippa is not the only dog who Studer has become friends with on his rounds, he often takes photos of his neighborhood dog pals! It warms our hearts to see this mailman give these sweet pups so much attention. Humans understandably get caught up in the busyness of life, and can get too distracted with worries about jobs, children, and basic surviving to slow down and appreciate little things. We should all love at least one thing as much as Pippa loves mail.
