Cristiano is not just showing off; he actually has a purpose when it comes to what he's doing. The mailman 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. After all, animals do have a sense when it comes to recognizing good people (at least that's what we'd like to think).
Or maybe dogs aren't as biased against mail carriers as we once believed? Previous history and rumors aside, 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."
