Prepare to meet your new favorite UPS driver! It may seem like a weird concept, but there is actually quite a bit of competition for this title. Gone are the days when delivery people complained about being chased by neighborhood dogs.
The internet is now packed with pup-loving drivers and mail carriers. And, in my opinion, Jay Hardesty is among the best of the bunch!
Hardesty is a 30-year-old UPS deliveryman in New Orleans, Louisiana. For the past two years, he has been documenting the dogs he meets along his route and sharing them via Instagram.
While his page was already popular, it really exploded late last month after a person on his route shared the following tweet, revealing Hardesty’s special hashtag, #pupsofjay.
Hardesty gained more than 10,000 Instagram followers in 48 hours!
According to Buzzfeed, the kind-hearted driver has a few favorite fur friends.
Some dogs have been long-time friends of Hardesty, but the others are too shy to greet him during deliveries.

Hardesty says he has a large collection of pup photos just waiting to be shared. He is currently limiting himself to one new doggo post per week on Friday evenings.
Mixed in with his dog photos are lovely family pics and some gorgeous shots of life in New Orleans. To see all of his adorable, funny, and heartwarming snapshots, follow Hardesty on Instagram!
