Here's a nice thing: A goat named Pearl has forged a friendship with the UPS guy who delivers packages to her animal shelter.

According to a Facebook post from The Gentle Barn animal rescue facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, Pearl's love for the local delivery man runs deep.

"When she hears his truck pull in she will drop whatever she is doing to run and see him," the post reads. "She will wait right outside his truck for him and sometimes even get impatient and climb in."

Pearl's love hasn't gone unrequited. With each visit, the UPS delivery man brings her peanut butter treats and "gives her lots of love while he is here."

"The UPS man loves Pearl too, and has told us that no matter what kind of day he is having, when he sees Pearl run to greet him everything is better."
