Confessions of a Courier: Guard Dog on Duty


As a courier company open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we interact with all types of people at many different locations whether it be a home, or a business. 

We have a driver named Jason that has been delivering to a particular client for years. Every time Jason has gone inside this client’s office, he sees a small dog that belongs to the receptionist. This dog has always been very friendly and he has never even heard the dog bark. One day Jason received an order and he was very familiar with the pickup since he had done it before. He rushed over because he knew this client always orders direct service which means your order should be picked up and delivered within one hour and forty five minutes to two hours in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Jason arrived at the location, said hi to the receptionist and walked around to see if the dog was there. He came to find out that the little dog he was familiar with had been replaced by a new dog. He tried to be friendly with the new dog, but as he approached the dog, it started to bark loudly and chased him around the front reception area. The receptionist kept telling him he doesn’t bite, but Jason wasn’t too sure since the dog was not being friendly and was jumping up at him.

Jason grabbed the package and quickly walked towards the door. As the receptionist put the dog on a leash, she assured him that the dog never gets like this with anyone.  Jason just felt lucky he had got his package and got back to his car to deliver unharmed. He wondered where the other friendly dog had gone after all these years. Guess the dog though Jason was the mailman.
