The Delivery Truck

Don't worry. We'll get them ourselves!

When a new delivery driver started this route, she memorized every home that had a pup and left a Milk Bone on top of each package she delivered. It didn’t take long for all the dogs dog in the neighborhood to recognize the sound of her truck and bark like crazy whenever they heard it.

Toby can hear the engine a half mile away. If we happen to be out for a walk when it is coming, he will plant himself in the middle of the road to wait for his personalized biscuit delivery. He puts on such a performance that sometimes the driver has to stop traffic to give my little monster a Milk Bone. Woe to the dog several houses away that can see my boy eating his treat and yet is too far away to get hers!

And yes, Toby will climb the steps to get to his biscuit if he gets the chance.

What can I say? I am a sucker for Milk Bones.

    And, Toby, you are so so SO smart to do whatcha’ gotta’ do to get your personal Milk Bone!m You go, Dude! 😉 🙂
    Ooh, I bet it does rile up that female doggie when you get your treat and she doesn’t get one. 😮
    I love when drivers, stores, restaurants, vet’s offices (etc.) have a treat ready for the pups they know they will encounter. So kind! 🙂

    Our FedEx driver always brought Max a treat. I went out to meet him shortly after Max passed and he said, “Where’s my big guy?” I lost it. He kept apologizing. I felt so bad for him. But I think he was almost as sad as I was.
