“Just want to share something cool! Everyday whether or not we have mail this mailman always stops to see my dog who is only 9 months old,” Collins said.

Collins goes on to explain that the unknown guy usually stops in front of their fence, even though they don’t have any mail to receive. However, this small act moves him as the mailman shows affection to his dog knowing his threatening size.

The mailman taps the fence, a sign that he’s asking the dog to go near him.

“He always gets overlooked as a dangerous or unapproachable dog, Maybe ’cause he’s big I am not sure.”

“He doesn’t bark at them or growl ( Maybe the odd couple times he barks at people but which dog doesn’t ) But this guy here always makes an effort to get off his bike to give him a hug and a pat!”
