For one postal worker, her recent attempt at getting lunch was a bit ruff. After she made a stop at a local farm to drop of their daily mail, she returned back to her vehicle ready for lunch. Except her lunch was gone, with only crumbs left behind.
The culprits? Carol Jordan’s two six-year-old black Lab mixes, Bear and Bull. The playful pups, she said, are quite good at making a mess around their home. The brothers, both rescue dogs, have managed to pull down drain pipes, chew up doors and, Carol said, destroyed not one, but three lawnmowers.
But the troublesome twosome are so loveable, Carol said the family can’t get mad. “They just can’t help themselves,” she said. “We never catch them in the act, we just see the destruction afterward.” But, every once in a while, the pups find themselves in a bit of trouble. Like stealing the mail carrier’s lunch.

“When delivery folks come up, they just leave their doors open and hop out to deliver,” Carol said. “The boys (as we call them) will take any chance to jump into a vehicle.” When their postal worker got back to her truck, both Bear and Bull
When the postal worker returned to her truck, she found Bear and Bull scarfing down her carefully prepared lunch. But the carrier, Carol said, was more worried that the dogs would have stomach problems and left the family a detailed note.
“Hey! I drove up to deliver a package and both of the dogs crawled in my truck,” the note said. “They got into my lunch and ate an egg and some carrots and pumpkin seeds. I don’t know if that will upset their tummies, just FYI!” Carol said the kindness of the woman, who instead of being angry, was more concerned about her dogs, meant so much to them.

She wanted to repay the postal worker, so the next day Carol got the woman a gift card to Subway and wrote an apology note from the “dogs”. “It was so nice of her to leave us a note of concern for the dogs that we decided to get her a gift card from the ‘boys’ to make up for them eating her lunch,” Jordan said.
I brought the note and card to the post office the following week so they could give it to the carrier.”
The note read, “Sorry we ate your lunch. Thank you for sharing! P.S. Our humans said, ‘Thank you’ for leaving a note. We didn’t like the note. We got in trouble.” However, this wasn’t the first time the boys had gotten themselves into a bit of trouble.
A Fedex driver, Carol said, learned the hard way that Bull and Bear liked to ride shotgun in vehicles. “Our FedEx delivery man told us that he came up to deliver and he left his door open. The boys jumped in and one sat ready to drive and the other ready to be a passenger in the front seat,” she said. “He kept throwing dog biscuits trying to get them to come out — but they wouldn’t.”
And just like all good dogs, this pair were sorry … but only for a short time. “They don’t really regret anything they do!” Carol said. “They will look guilty for a while, but then it is all fun and games with them again.” Watch below for a look at these silly brothers!
