Nervous Amazon Driver Has Wholesome Conversation With Dog

A doorbell cam captured the wholesome moment an Amazon delivery driver wary of a dog sitting on the porch overcame his fear and approached the pooch for a cute conversation. In the sweet video, captured in Kansas City, Missouri, the driver, Eric, is seen approaching eight-year-old Grace, a rescued pitbull mix, who was waiting on her porch. Initially apprehensive over the dog, Eric says, "Hi, pretty," and then asks, "Are you friendly?" He then proclaims, "I feel like you're not…" before slowly approaching the house. As he does so, Eric notice Grace is, in fact, more than happy to make friends with him, so he introduces himself with "Hi, I'm Eric" before placing the package down and letting a waggy tailed Grace say hello. Grace's owner Ashley Gore, 38, was in the back yard when the moment took place and later discovered the wholesome video on her Ring camera, which she shared with friends and family on social media.

The way someone treats an animal says more about their character than anything else

I can tell from this short interaction that this guy has a good heart

[ChiefsFancave]

I was a mailman for 19 years. I totally relate to his situation. You have to do your job but also stay safe. He handled this like the pro he is. Good dog!

[loriellenbrochhagen]

I love that he told her to have a wonderful day.

I love this. He tells the dog, I'll leave the package here for your mom. That was perfect. This guy has a heart of gold.

[ChiyoriMizushima]

The moment you realise that the "scary" dog is, in fact, a friendly marshmallow <3

[eieiojklf]

They both seemed a bit wary of each other. But once they interacted, they realized they were both friendly :)

Can we talk about how statuesque the dog was?!? At first, he looked like a porch ornament!! Nice that the driver gave him a chance, probably made his day. That guy has a heart of gold.

As a mailman here in Canada I have come across this exact scenario many many times over my 15 year career. Oddly enough, even though they're very intimidating, the medium to large sized dogs have always been the goodest boy or girl in comparison to the small dogs who are the very aggressive ones.

Awww her tail stopped when he had to leave, “My friend left.”

[NB-srtd]

This happens almost every day on my routes at work. Constantly negotiating obstacles, dogs, children, angry drivers. Give that man a raise.

You can tell that if he had been someone with bad intentions that she was effectively guarding the porch. She is assessing him and determined him to be harmless, so she went and said hi! What a good mama pittie ❤

[Adam-lzcr]

That dude deserves a raise. You know he is a quality person and employee.

[MoTheCat]

He knew to let the dog smell him, to hold his hand with the back facing the dog so it doesn't look like he's making a grab for the dog, and to move slowly so the dog has time to act! What a Champion!

I’m a contractor and meeting cool pets is one of the best parts of my work day.

[adavidf]

He stayed calm, waited patiently and “greeted her” in a gentle friendly voice. She happily picked up on that, and then the tail began to wag. He has a new friend forever. Nice.

The dog was having a herself a bad day until this angel showed up and told her she was beautiful.

[conorryan]

Give that guy a raise - what a nice interaction. Great Dog too!

[Sgt.k]

That is a perfect example of good employee and a great human being. I wish they were all like that.

[GingerNinja]

As soon as he said the word "mama, " that tail went straight to wagging! ❤
