Today reported that, according to a Facebook video posted by Michael Collins Sunday, his dog Kyza loves the mail man.

"Everyday whether or not we have mail this mail man always stops to see my dog who is only 9 months old," Collins wrote.

Collins said that his dog usually gets looked over, possibly because of his size and the perception of his dog being dangerous or unapproachable.

In the video, the mailman approaches the dog and gives him pets and rubs. The dog wags his tail enthusiastically and licks the mailman's face.
