We all eagerly anticipate the arrival of a FedEx delivery at our doorstep, often signaling the arrival of something exciting. However, for one family in Castle Pines, Colorado, a FedEx delivery turned into a heartwarming reunion when the driver found and safely returned their lost dog while they were away.
The story unfolded when the Menzie family was out of town, and a contractor working on their house left briefly for lunch. Although he closed the front door behind him, an unexpected breeze blew it open, creating an opportunity for their curious 3-year-old golden retriever, Catcher, to embark on an adventure of her own.
Lisa Menzie, recalling the incident, said, “Our contractor left to go to lunch and shut the front door, and the wind blew the door open while I was gone, and Catcher escaped.” Their Ring camera captured Catcher leaving the house, walking down the walkway, and then disappearing from sight, leaving her family worried and uncertain about her safety.
Fortunately, fate was on Catcher’s side that day. A vigilant FedEx driver spotted her strolling along the street, realizing that she was far from where she belonged. Showing genuine concern, the compassionate driver stopped and picked up Catcher, ensuring her safety.
Shortly after, Lisa Menzie received a text message informing her that her beloved dog had been found and would be returned to the address on her tag. The text read, “‘I found your dog, and the address on her tag is where I’m going to take her,’ and then he put her in the house with such care,” Lisa recounted in an interview.
Later, the Ring camera captured the FedEx truck arriving at the Menzie’s home. The driver stepped out of the vehicle, tenderly carrying Catcher and gently placing her inside her home before locking the door behind him. Lisa expressed her immense gratitude to the driver, acknowledging that the situation could have had a much different outcome. She likened the driver’s care for Catcher to the tender moments depicted in the theme song of “Titanic,” and expressed her hope to personally thank him someday.
“He interrupted his day and his package delivery schedule to pick her up and hand-carry her into our home and lock the door behind him. I don’t want to think about where else she could have ended up,” Lisa shared.
The FedEx driver’s act of kindness undoubtedly earned him the title of this family’s guardian angel. Their heartwarming reunion serves as a reminder of the compassion and thoughtfulness that exists in our everyday heroes. Please share this uplifting story with your loved ones, spreading the joy and warmth it brings.
