Hilarious moment UPS driver chases dog that stole package he just delivered

People are flooding to social media in stitches over a clip of a UPS driver chasing after a dog which nicked the package he just delivered.

UPS drivers may earn a lot more than most social media users expect, but that's not to say their job is easy - especially if you've got a rogue dog on the loose who's partial to a parcel or two. Prepare to respect your delivery driver even more than you already do:

Tre Welch - who goes by @juicecupbox and @juicecupboxx on TikTok - took to the platform on Wednesday (6 December) to post a video of himself chasing after a pesky dog who'd got it's jaws on one of his delivered packages.

In the hilarious video, Welch can be seen talking to the dog, telling it: "I didn't deliver that to you. Gimme the package back."

He then tries to call the dog back, trying to reason with it that the customer will say he 'didn't deliver' if it runs away with it.

However, despite being told to 'give' the package and 'drop it,' the dog - obviously - does neither.

As anyone who owns a dog knows, such a command only makes it more tempting to disobey and so the dog simply sits down, looks up at Welch defiantly, and then suddenly makes a run for it again, slinking back off across the yard.

Thankfully, the dog is apprehended by another UPS driver, who distracts it with a quick pet on the head, removing the package gently from its jaws and returning it to Welch.

Welch then walks the package back over to the house it belongs to, alas the dog runs after him.

The delivery man makes sure to put it inside the porch door, scolding the dog: "You're too hyper."

All in a day's work, eh?

The video has since gone viral, amassing over half-a-million views, people flocking to the comments in fits of giggles over the cheeky hound's behaviour.

One TikTok user said: "Judging from the yard, he’s a collector of things."

"Dogs can tell. He said this dude doesn’t like dogs so lemme go to the one who does," another added.

A third wrote: "Tht dog definitely knows what Drop It means. the little posture of No I don’t think so."

And a fourth resolved: "He didn’t mean any harm his ears were down he said just lemme make him work a little more today."
