Dog and mailman share the most adorable relationship—their everyday greeting is the stuff of legends

Dogs have an uncanny ability to bond with anyone who showers them with unconditional love and attention. Whether it's your neighborhood couple, the friendly newspaper carrier, or a familiar milkman stopping by your residence daily, dogs know how to foster pure connections with everyone. Likewise, a recent video showcasing the beautiful relationship between an adorable corgi and a regular mailman has gone viral on social media. The wholesome video, shared on the dog's official Instagram page, TheCorgiCult (@thecorgicult_), beautifully captured the daily greeting between the dog and the mailman, Johnathan.

Every day, the corgi was seen waiting for the mailman to arrive outside its house and the moment it spotted him, it would go crazy with uncontrollable excitement—jumping around, wagging its tail continuously. In return, the mailman also never failed to acknowledge the playful dog's endless enthusiasm and always stopped for a moment to pet it. Interestingly, within just a year of moving to Wisconsin, the mailman fell head-over-heels with the corgi. Sharing more about their bond, the dog owner shared, "Truly, one of the best parts of moving to a small town! He is the best and I tell him all the time that he is her favorite person!"

Moreover, recognizing her dog's bond with Johnathan, the owner decided to surprise him with a delightful Christmas present. She wrote, "I made him some Christmas cookies and gave him a card with a printout picture of her with the toy he gave." At the end of the Instagram reel, the pet parent even shared a picture of the beautiful Christmas card. Meanwhile, reacting to the video, @sherij0315 commented, "Cardigans are the best! Mine has never met a stranger and loves everyone. She loves the snow, too." @ma_fer_bas wrote, "I guess you have the idea of how much joy those minutes bring to your mailman. I don't pet many doggies, cuz I see them while driving and all I do I shout DOGGIE." Similarly, @dawn01886 wrote, "How sweet! Dogs are the best! And so are our postal workers. My bestie is a carrier and loves her dogs on her route too. Happy Holidays!"

@velueur commented, "Omg you have to put some printed pictures of the dog with the toy in the mailbox for mailman Johnathan to take home." @00_willow1972 commented, "The sweetest bond I ever seen, wishing them a long and happy friendship. Your area looks very lovely." @desdoll, another dog owner resonated with the video and wrote, "My dog, Buffy, loved our mailman and he loved her! He'd bring her treats, wipe her eyes and always stop to pat her. And no. She didn't live outside, we had a gate and she LOVED to sit in our yard." On the other hand, @martin338470 wrote, "I had a nice mailman but my dog hated him. My dog was deaf and would smell the mailman coming from the neighborhood next to mine. He could not see him but knew he was coming if the wind was blowing from that direction." @mascettipatti wrote, "Love this. I am a mail carrier and it is the best part of the day when I see my furry friends along the way."
