Dogs and Canada Archivesdelivery drivers have a historically conflictual relationship. There are some package delivery drivers who are nevertheless able to build meaningful relationships with their furry friends.

Jason Hardesty, @jhardesty on Instagram, is one of them.

Hardesty is a UPS driver in New Orleans, Louisiana. He describes himself as a "very easily entertained UPS driver," which makes sense -- Hardesty loves taking selfies of himself with all the neighborhood dogs.

"There's a lot of dogs on my route. I came across a really cute one and took a picture with him," Hardesty told Mashable over DM. "I posted it and got a lot of good feedback and realized people wanted more of that so I started taking pics of the dogs I came across."

He organizes the photos under the hashtag #PupsofJay. Hardesty should be a dog selfie model. These photos are made to be on a free complimentary calendar people hand out at restaurants.

"The area I work, all of the dogs are really friendly. Some of them I see regularly so they may already be familiar with me. But most of the time none of the dogs have issues taking pics with me," Hardesty said.
