Gina Malcouronne was enjoying a cup of coffee in her car, parked at the Starbucks parking lot. She had her faithful dog, Georgie, with her. Little did they expect that a small act of kindness will make their day.

Malcouronne works at an animal clinic and always brings Georgie to work with her. They usually eat lunch in the car to unwind from the stress accumulated on the job.

“When I’m not at work, and especially on my breaks, I tend to try not to talk to people,” Malcouronne says. “We always sit in the Starbucks parking lot because I like to get coffee after I’ve finished my lunch. I tend to park off to the side to hide from people.”

Suddenly, a FedEx truck pulled up alongside her car, and she rolled up her windows a bit and tried to avoid eye contact. But that didn’t discourage the FedEx driver.

“When he got out of the truck, he greeted me with a pleasant ‘Hello!’” Malcouronne says. “I wasn’t sure exactly what his intentions were, but I definitely didn’t expect the kind gesture that was coming!”

He handed Malcouronne two separately packaged dog treats branded FedEx, saying, “This is for him.”

Georgie was rescued from starvation and adopted in March and simply adores treats. Of course, it goes without saying that he was very excited about this turn of events.

“It was very cutely packaged, and it had all the ingredients on the back, which I thought was great because Georgie doesn’t have allergies himself, but you never know,” Malcouronne said.

They were both overjoyed by this simple but adorable act. The driver nodded and went off, and Georgie munched on his unexpected treats. Now, he is super thrilled every time he sees a FedEx van.
