In 2017, Jason's journey took a new turn when he was assigned a fresh delivery route. Reflecting on his experience, Jason candidly admits that the dogs on his previous route were notably unfriendly and occasionally aggressive.

However, upon embarking on his new route, he discovered a stark contrast; the canine residents were notably less aggressive and even displayed moments of sweetness. This shift in dynamic paved the way for Jason to forge heartwarming connections with the furry companions along his daily delivery path.

Hardesty aims to maintain a balance on his account, ensuring he doesn't inundate his followers with an excess of dog photos. Instead, he opts to share approximately one photo per week. Setting a consistent schedule, he posts at 6 PM every Friday evening, providing people with an extra reason to smile as they wind down their work week.
