The trope of mail carriers being afraid of dogs, and dogs chasing or barking at them, is pretty common in media. There's even plenty of funny clothing and toys commemorating that strained relationship.

The reality can be often quite different, though.

One mail carrier's daughter shared a text she got from her father, Fernando, about one of the dogs on his route, and it's getting a lot of attention on Twitter.

@amorningsting said that her father likes to give treats to the dogs on his route. Apparently the dogs eagerly await his deliveries, and he enjoys making them happy.

She then shared a text that she received from her father, and it's breaking people's hearts.

He said:

"Awww just found out one of my buddies passed away yesterday. Gretchen was a huge German Shepherd but she was a teddy bear 🐻"


Fernando included a photo of the note Gretchen's family left, along with 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."

The tweet now has over 869,000 likes, and almost 5,300 replies.

The story seems to have hit most people squarely in the feels.





Gretchen's family found out about the note being shared on Twitter and commented, sharing a video of Gretchen waiting eagerly for Fernando to deliver the mail.





It is great to know that one mail carrier is doing his best to make the dogs on his route happy. Dogs touch our hearts and make our lives better by just existing.

An undeniable part of the magic that guests experience at many of the Disney parks around the world is the interactions with characters.

Those who post photos of their Disney vacations will almost always include a photo with Mickey and/or Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie, and their human friends like Snow White, Belle, Moana, or villains like Gaston.

It's not that difficult to suspend your disbelief during an encounter with a Disney character.

But spoiler alert, the beloved icons you're putting your arms around and giving hugs are with total strangers who are paid to make you feel special.

Redditors got a chance to discover what it's like for those costumed Disney cast members giving hugs and signing autographs to kids of all ages that they've never met before.

We can all agree that there is something to appreciate about every country in the world, but there are arguably some countries that appear to have their ducks more consistently and happily in a row than others.

While it would be easy to let pride get in the way and continue to do things the same way, the more productive thing would be to learn from the countries who have figured out a better way to do certain things, whether it's healthcare, food banks, or other services.

Every year, at the end of the Academy Awards, while the auditorium erupts in cheers upon the announcement of the Best Picture winner, as they are somewhat obligated to do, many viewers at home instead shake their heads and raise their eyebrows.

That's if they don't throw popcorn or worse at their TVs.

While those who did so when La La Land was announced as the winner in 2017 would end up getting their revenge in what remains one of the biggest blunders of Oscar history, others are still reeling at some past winners, which they believe were more worthy of a Razzie than an Oscar.

Taste being subjective, plenty of people still find themselves confused by some films which won countless awards, received across-the-board raves, and are considered classics or masterpieces, but they find to be utterly unbearable.

Often finding themselves in an unpopular minority and having to keep their opinion to themselves, similar to Seinfeild's Elaine Benes and her unique disdain for The English Patient.

Everyone wishes there was something different about their body.

Smaller nose, longer legs, a different hair or eye color.

There are those, however, whose frustrations with their body are less personal, and more universal.

Finding themselves frustrated less with their own DNA, but with human anatomy in general.

Frustrated by how certain functions work the way they do, and feeling there could be significant improvements in other departments as well.
