Dogs and mail carriers have long been considered natural adversaries, but one Brazilian mailman is challenging this age-old stereotype. Hailing from Guaratinguetá, São Paulo, Angelo Cristiano Da Silva Antunes, also known as "Animal-friendly Postman" on social media, has spent nearly a decade proving that a harmonious relationship between postmen and canines is possible. His collection of photographs with his four-legged friends stands as evidence of the bonds he's formed with animals during his career.
Not only does Antunes interact positively with dogs, but he extends his warmth and friendliness to all animals he encounters on his delivery route. That being said, if you'd love to see more pictures of Antunes with the dogs he encounters whilst working, make sure to check out our previous post on Bored Panda.

Cristiano is not just showing off; he has a purpose. He frequently rescues animals in need of urgent veterinary care or placement in shelters while on his route. His dream is to open his own animal shelter to further support his furry friends, even beyond his current remarkable efforts.

Winning a dog's trust as a mail carrier is no easy feat, but Cristiano has a method. First, he greets the dog and acknowledges them, then lets them sniff his hand from a safe distance, allowing the dog to become familiar with him. Gradually, he gets closer to the dogs until they're comfortable enough to lick his face.

It's hardly shocking that this animal-loving mail carrier has a few dogs and three cats at home with his partner. He's been around dogs since childhood, which might be why canines welcome him as one of their own.

Or maybe dogs aren't as biased against mail carriers as we once believed? Regardless, the incredible animal-friendly mail carrier continues to captivate his 96k followers and the world with a message he delivers through each photo: "A mail carrier can be a dog's best friend."
