Mailman’s Daily Greeting With Dog Builds Lasting Bond

Quick Smiles:

• Piper eagerly awaits her daily greeting from mailman Jason.
• The internet is amused by Jason’s unique way of saying hello.
• Postal workers have mixed experiences with dogs, but some form lasting bonds.

Every morning, Piper the dog eagerly awaits the arrival of her favorite visitor: mailman Jason. His unique way of greeting her has captured the attention and amusement of internet users everywhere.

In a delightful video shared on TikTok by @djperelman, Jason reaches through the mail slot to give Piper her daily scratch, a moment she looks forward to with great anticipation.

The video, which has garnered over 5 million views, features overlay text stating, “Every morning the mailman comes to say hi to our pup. It’s her favorite time of the whole day, and she gets depressed whenever he doesn’t come. Thank goodness for mailmen like Jason. Thanks for being so nice to Piper.”

As soon as Piper hears Jason approaching, she rushes to the door, ready to receive her daily dose of affection through the “door hands.” Her owner, Danielle, humorously compared the scene to “Thing” from The Addams Family, noting the similarity to the cheeky disembodied hand.

While this story of friendship between a dog and a mail carrier is charming, it’s not unique. Many postal workers have formed bonds with the pets on their routes, like the dog and mail carrier who have been “best friends for 16 years.”
