Jason, a UPS driver certainly has a lot of good things working out for him, none of which compare to the joy he receives from his work friends; dogs. Hardesty, 30 has been sharing adorable photos with dogs he meets along his working routes in New Orleans that the internet just can't get enough of.

This fun adventure started two years ago when Hardesty got moved to a new route in a younger neighborhood.


“My old route, which was more families, the dogs did not like you,” he said

“They moved me to a different area of town with more people my age, more single people, and the dogs were a lot friendlier.”
“They come to the door and are happy and let you pet them and stuff.”

While Jason has an active social media account that’s still growing, he started getting publicity after Author Jami Attenberg- who lives along his delivery route shared a link to his #pupsofjay tag.

“I think I gained like 10,000 followers in 48 hours,” said Hardesty.His photos say it all; the pure joy on Hardesty’s face is simply infectious.

He even got a nod from music producer Neko Case



One of his current favorites pups is this very good girl named Summer

Hardy also reveals that there is actually a waiting list of dogs waiting to be posted and is limiting himself to posting one dog each Friday evening.


Hardesty, who is undoubtedly a dog person doesn’t have a pooch for himself, so playing with the pups along his route marks the highlight of each day. The owners love it too.

“They love the fact that their dog loves me and I love them,” he said.
