BuzzFeed reported that Australian postal worker Martin Studer decided to improvise on days when there's no mail for Pippa to retrieve.

He wrote a note to Pippa on a delivery notice, and shared a photo of the note in a Facebook post about the mail-loving retriever.

"Sometimes, Pippa comes out for the daily delivery but there's no mail for her to collect," Studer wrote on the post.

"She’s a fantastic dog," Studer told BuzzFeed. "I give lots of dogs cuddles, but she’s really great."

BuzzFeed News reported that Studer is such a fan of the dogs that he gives them tennis balls to dogs and dresses up as Santa.

"It’s good to break down that ‘postie vs. dog’ stereotype," he said.
