Mailman Who Gives Treats to Dogs on His Route Receives Heartbreaking Note From Owners of Four-Legged Buddy
Some mail routes are full of barking and chaos, but one Texas mailman turned his daily stops into something much sweeter. His habit of carrying treats for the dogs on his route made him a favorite with more than a few four-legged neighbors.
That kindness came into sharper focus when his daughter, Twitter user @amorningsting, shared a note he received from one family after their dog, Gretchen, died. Instead of keeping the leftover treats, they asked him to share them with the other dogs he visits, a small gesture that hit hard online.
The story spread fast, and the note from Gretchen's owners is the part people cannot stop talking about.
Twitter user @amorningsting posted the heartwarming story about her dad.
He loved to give all the dogs on his route a special treat.
A small kindness on a mail route turned into something unforgettable.
In a text to his daughter, the mailman shared that his German Shepherd buddy, Gretchen, had died, along with a photo of a note and a bag of dog treats.
The note read: “Gretchen passed away yesterday. She asked me to ask you if you would share her treats that she never got to finish with the other dogs on your route. She always enjoyed seeing you come to the door and was always happy to get a snack from you. Thank you, The Cimino Family.”
That note is enough to make anyone stop scrolling.
There wasn't a dry eye among the comments!
The reaction was exactly what you'd expect.
It also echoes the man who said goodbye to his dog after 12 years of loyal companionship.
