I DELIVER PACKAGES ON THIS ROUTE EVERY DAY—BUT THIS DOG KNEW MY NAME BEFORE I EVER TOLD IT

Right at the edge of a driveway on my route.

Watching me.

At first, I barely thought about it.

Dogs wander. People get new pets. Life moves.

But the next day?

He was there again.

Same spot.

Same stillness.

Same eyes locked on me like he’d been waiting.

By the end of the week, it had become a pattern.
