Guard Dog Moose vs. Two Very Different Drivers

Moose is no ordinary dog—he’s the self-appointed guardian of his home, and he takes his duties very seriously. Anyone who dares to approach the property is met with his intense, no-nonsense stare. His message is clear: step carefully. But there’s one thing that makes Moose’s job a little complicated—he absolutely loves receiving packages.

While most delivery drivers might assume Moose’s stern expression means “stay away,” he’s actually eager for their arrival—as long as they follow his rules. The only problem? Not every driver knows how to handle a dog like Moose.

Take the FedEx guy, for example. He pulled up to the house, took one look at the massive, alert dog standing watch, and instantly knew he was not about to take any risks. His truck door cracked open just enough to let him peek outside, and after sizing up the situation, he decided on a safer approach.

Instead of stepping out, he squeezed the package through the narrow gap in the door, carefully maneuvering it until it plopped onto the ground. There was no way he was getting any closer! His job was done, and that was all that mattered. Wasting no time, he slammed the door shut and sped away, leaving Moose to inspect the delivery on his own terms. It was a survival tactic—and a smart one at that.

But then there’s the UPS guy. This driver? He knows the game, and he plays it well. He’s dealt with Moose before and has a secret weapon to turn the intimidating guard dog into a friendly, tail-wagging greeter: treats.

The moment the UPS driver stepped out of his truck, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small snack. Moose, who had been standing in full security mode just moments before, suddenly relaxed. His ears perked up, his tail began to sway, and his eyes locked onto the delicious offering.

With complete confidence, the UPS driver walked toward the porch, tossing the treat as a peace offering. Moose gladly accepted, his tough exterior melting away as he enjoyed his favorite kind of bribe. Package delivered, mission accomplished—no nervous retreat necessary.

The contrast between these two delivery experiences couldn’t be funnier. One driver practically fled for his life, while the other strolled up like an old friend. If there’s one lesson to be learned here, it’s this: every tough-looking guard dog has a soft spot. And for Moose, it just happens to come in treat form.
