When people hear about mailmen and dogs, most people think of them as natural enemies.<\/p>\n

But Jeff Kramer the mailman and Tashi the black lab are not your typical dog and mailman duo. A few years ago, Kramer’s route took him past a house on Bluebell Avenue in Boulder for the first time and out came Tashi.<\/p>\n

“As fast as he could \u2014 which was not very fast \u2014 he ran up to me tail wagging, first day I met him,” Kramer said. “He’s just a really friendly dog. And I am a dog person, and they can tell.”<\/p>\n

A bond was formed and every day on his route, Kramer makes sure to stop and say hi to Tashi.<\/p>\n

“He would just come by every day and pet him,” said Tashi’s owner, Karen Dimetrosky. “Tashi would hang outside and would always get so excited when Jeff came. He would always try to pull me towards the mail truck.”<\/p>\n
