But no one’s ever seen him leave!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he walked out the door—ready for another day of mystery and warmth.

Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started dropping by the post office just to catch a glimpse of the little cookie-loving pup. The Garland Post Office became known not only for delivering letters but also for its daily dose of cuteness.

A neighbor quipped, ‘Guess that’s how they get their postage around here.’
