TikTok viewers instantly became obsessed with a Ring doorbell camera perfectly capturing a delivery driver's reaction after spotting dogs sitting at the front door.
Dog owner Jen told Newsweek via TikTok that she was sitting on her couch when she heard the doorbell sound go off. Curious as to who was there, she pulled out her phone to check the Ring camera.
"I brought it up on my phone and saw her and could hear Louise, she's the Frenchie in the video, I babysit her for a friend of mine," she said. "But she was so excited."
The Ring camera footage, which was shared in an April 28 TikTok video under the account @hiimjennifer20, showed the driver bending down in disbelief. She started laughing at the sight of the dogs, admiring their precious faces.
Meanwhile, you could hear the French Bulldog scratching at the door in a desperate attempt to say hello. Jen realized both the driver and the dogs needed more than a quick glance at each other. They needed to meet.
"I saw the FedEx driver so excited and seemed to want to meet her, so I got up to let her meet my dogs," she said. "It made her whole day."

The first dog ran out to greet the driver, sniffing and inspecting her. Jenn held the other dog as she stepped outside. The driver immediately went to give the dogs pets, obsessing over their smushed faces, a distinguishing characteristic in these canines.
Jenn shared in the caption of the video that the driver's reaction also made her whole day.
FedEx provided Newsweek with the following statement regarding the video: "What a heart-warming interaction! We're proud of the hard work of our team members, and we're thankful when customers, fur-covered and otherwise, show their appreciation."
As of Tuesday, the clip reached 125,200 views and 10,300 likes on TikTok, with viewers falling in love with the genuine joy the delivery driver had when meeting the dogs.
"Omg you can hear the tappy toes!!" wrote one user.
Another pointed out: "When she tucked the tag in so she could enjoy the full experience."
A third person said: "I would be the worst FedEx driver wanting to pet all the puppies!"

‘Color walking' is trending — here's everything you need to know
The walking trends are coming in thick and fast now that summer is approaching, and TikTok — as TikTok does — is sending each one stratospheric. If you haven't heard about it yet, put down your "hot girl walk," "silent walking," or the "Japanese walking method" for just a moment and join me in the latest TikTok fitness craze — "color walking." I use up way more of my journalistic time than I'd like slamming and damning the misleading (and sometimes downright nonsensical) wellness trends I see on TikTok. It can often feel like a relentless game of Whack-A-Mole — just when you think one has finally gone, another one springs up from nowhere. But color walking? I'm actually totally sold, to be honest. Here's what I learned from the TikTok color walking trend — and why you may benefit from trying it, too. The color walking technique is a great way to engage in National Walking Month, and because the benefits of walking are extensive, who wouldn't want to find more ways to make it more interesting, too? Dale Orton, head of photo culture and quality at nature-inspired photography company CEWE, who champions walking in nature, says: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Color walking is similar to many mindfulness practices and grounding techniques, such as deep breathing, naming categories and the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory experience, which aim to ease anxiety and help you feel more aware of your surroundings. These techniques help to anchor your thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.' He adds that you can experience the same effect with color walking — simply focus on a specific color while you walk to draw attention away from overthinking or distractions. 'It also trains your eyes to notice the small details, which heightens sensory awareness,' he says. 'Equally, we know that taking photos of nature can also help focus the mind, so combining your color walking and stopping to take photos can have double the benefit.' Orton suggests five tips if you plan to color walk. Here are a few things I noticed besides colors. Given that I was heading to my local park for this exercise, I decided not to go with green — my initial intention. Instead, I chose a color I'd have to look harder to find, which I thought could help improve my focus and prevent distractions. I landed on blue. Those walking near me probably wondered why I was standing in a field staring at the sky, but hey, we move. First, I watched how the clouds moved and interacted with the blue sky tucked away behind them; I felt…peaceful. Like the feeling after a big exhale when you've been holding your breath. I then walked around and looked for other blues that were less obvious — the color of a T-shirt (warning, don't stare at people for longer than is socially acceptable) or the orange and blue of a ball clutched between the spit-slick jaws of a panting puppy. It made me present in the moment and feel calmer in my mind. I get it, we don't all have time for long or leisurely walks whenever we feel like it, but you can benefit from even just 10 minutes of color walking. This wasn't a step tracking exercise, so I switched my phone to silent (a bit like when I tried silent walking), took out my earphones and removed my Apple Watch. Free from my self-imposed tech shackles, I explored and spent longer walking (and observing) than I would have done if I'd dutifully trotted out my regular walking route. Naturally, and without checking, I'm pretty sure I clocked up more steps. But that's not the point. Instead of going through the rhythms of my daily routine, I was actually noticing things for the first time, and I found it very soothing and enjoyable. If you're looking for a pair of the best running shoes you can wear for long walks, too, these sneakers are super cushioned and comfy. I regularly choose them for runs and walks! With my tech switched off, I could switch off. Anyone who knows me knows that I am chaotic by my very nature — a 5'2" hurricane of clumsy golden retriever energy and topic-hopping chat. I've also, and I know many people can relate, had a bit of a tough start to the year. During these mentally trickier months, my daily walks have been less about the physical benefits (hello rucking) and more about building mental stamina and finding some peace of mind. And so for once, I found myself genuinely relaxing and switching off my brain. Not for long — the worries and anxieties of the day ahead would still creep in, but just before I began floating off toward them, I'd then refocus my brain on the color blue and find myself re-anchored and tethered. I haven't found many of these mindfulness exercises work for me in life — if someone recommends 'traditional' meditation to me again, I won't be held responsible for my actions — but this one did. I enjoyed seeking out the color, observing how it interacted with its surroundings, then panning out to the object itself, how it moved, or how things moved around it. Simple, free to do and endlessly meditative. Tick, tick, tick. I honestly believe there are benefits for everyone with color walking, and it's a wellness trend I finally don't mind TikTok blowing up. If, for whatever reason, colors don't work for you, I recommend trying sounds instead. Try to choose one beforehand — like bird song — and listen for it wherever you go. If you fancy entering a trance-like state the next time you go walking, try a color walk. Trust me!

John Oliver Calls Attention To Air Traffic Control Crisis With FAA Ad Spoof Featuring Lil Rel Howery, Keyla Monterroso Mejia & H. Jon Benjamin
Back after the Memorial Day weekend break, John Oliver wasted no time soaring through a topic needing urgent attention: the air traffic control crisis that has been looming and ongoing for years due to lack of investment. Beginning Last Week Tonight, the host made a quip about a 2023 headline concerning a FedEx plane that nearly crashed into a Southwest airliner in Austin. More from Deadline Nathan Fielder Calls FAA "Very Dumb" Over Response To 'The Rehearsal' John Oliver Delivers The "Hot Take" WBD Was Expecting On HBO Max's Rebrand, Comparing It To Gulf Name Change: "F-- You, Don't Tell Me What To Do" Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Comedic Standout On Everything From 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' To 'The Studio', Signs With Artists First 'Well, that is terrifying! Planes should definitely not be landing on top of each other and I say that knowing that there is a nonzero chance Tom Cruise will hear me and immediately greenlight a new Mission: Impossible to do exactly that himself,' Oliver said. 'I am not saying that he is trying to die on camera, I'm just saying the only way Tom Cruise passes away peacefully in his bed is if the bed is being dropped into an active volcano to somehow save the 'live moviegoing experience.'' Throughout the episode, Oliver outlined how the U.S. history of aviation has led to the problem, saying, 'as with so many things on this show, at least some of the blame lies with Ronald Reagan,' pointing to the 11,000 air traffic controllers the late president fired amid a massive union strike — a number that was never quite recuperated. From the Federal Aviation Administration's designation as discretionary spending and not mandatory to low success and recruitment rates, Oliver remarked that the challenging nature of the role itself — and the lack of funding the field receives — is 'like Squid Game if the prize of Squid Game was to just keeping doing Squid Game as a job.' Thus the segment culminated in an ad spoofing a real FAA spot played earlier in the evening, featuring actors H. Jon Benjamin (Bob's Burgers), Lauren Adams (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) and Keyla Monterroso Mejia (The Studio) as beleaguered workers. What begins as a seemingly normal advert quickly descends into chaos as the staff deals with bats, bees and broken elevators (all real problems reported by air traffic controllers). 'My father was an air traffic controller, and I feel a real connection with him here at this job, especially because this is the exact same computer he used,' Benjamin's character remarks as he points to a sticker that reads 'Dukakis for President '88.' 'He had to retire because the doctor said he had more ulcer than stomach. What are you gonna do?' Meanwhile, in a moment parodying the real technology lag in control towers, Mejia's young worker is shown confused when faced with a floppy disk, opting to put it into the toaster. 'It's a lot like a video game, except we can never hit pause, there are no extra lives and instead of NPCs, it's you and your loved ones,' her character says. As the filming of the parody gets interrupted by power outages ('Dave, one flush, we talked about this!' Benjamin yells out to Howery's character), Mejia's plea to her colleagues to return from a photo op — 'I'm juggling like seven f—ing flights' — ends the sketch. Best of Deadline Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sex-Trafficking Trial Updates: Cassie Ventura's Testimony, $10M Hotel Settlement, Drugs, Violence, & The Feds 'Poker Face' Season 2 Guest Stars: From Katie Holmes To Simon Hellberg 2025-26 Awards Season Calendar: Dates For Tonys, Emmys, Oscars & More
