Meet Sean McCarren: UPS driver, dog lover, and your average American hero. 

Per Buzzfeed, he's spent the last 17 years working for UPS, bringing joy to not only humans, but their pets too. So to document his pup encounters, McCarren created a Facebook page for the community of UPS drivers who also just so happen to be dog lovers. He dubbed it UPS Dogs and wait until you see the pics..

"I started the page five years ago. I love dogs [and] we have about 30 drivers that post on a regular basis," McCarren told Mashable. "But what the page tries to portray is positive connection with the people and families day to day." 

"I will say that not all people like dogs and that's ok," McCarren said. "But dogs are really important to people's families, they are like their son or daughter, so you try to take and treat them as such."

McCarren told Mashable that he and his UPS pals all enjoy taking the time out of their day to meet a few family pups during their lunch breaks. 

In fact, one UPS driver in particular fell in love with a dog during her route, she decided to offer him a new forever home following the death of his owner. 

"Katie Newhouser is one of the drivers who post pictures, she actually had a story early this year, where she adopted a dog on her route," said McCarren. 

According to McCarren, the UPS Dogs Facebook page has already garnered well over 200,000 followers and the numbers just keep rising. 

He posts photos often shared by several UPS drivers across the 50 states that detail meet-and-greet stories with lovable pooches, or even the occasional kitten, rabbit or goose.

The secret to getting the animals to interact with the driver is the magic of dog biscuits. 

"What's funny is, ask any delivery driver and they will tell you, dogs just jump up into the vehicle, wanting a biscuit," said McCarren. "It's great, sometimes I'll go through a couple boxes of treats a week."

"I've heard that this page is the best ever, a few hundred times already," McCarren said.
