An Irish postman is going viral on TikTok after he said goodbye to all the dogs on his delivery route on his last day in the job.
Seamus Brennan from Laois was making his final postal delivery this week but as well as letters and parcels, he delivered a few final treats to his old canine pals too.
The clip of Seamus chatting the dogs on his last day in the job was shared to TikTok by his son Niall Brennan (@mr.brennan17) and has been melting hearts and racking up thousands of views.

In the video, Seamus says "you're the best dog in the world" as he gives one pooch a treat from his van window. "I'm going to miss ya," he adds in the heartwarming clip.
He tells the dog "I won't see you any more" before giving him the treat but the dog doesn't want to say goodbye and leaves his paws over Seamus's door.
"You'll be a good dog when I'm gone," he says before saying goodbye to another dog in the driveway of a house. He tells them he'll see them tomorrow forgetting it's his last day on the job and adding, "No, I won't see you anymore."
The dog looks longingly at him. Seamus says, "I can't give you anymore. Okay, one more," before he throws a treat into the driveway, says "good boy."
People have been flooding to the comments section to express their love for Seamus and heartache.
"Ah jaysus, I'm nearly crying," one read, while another said, "I didn't need this emotional attachment."
Another wrote: "But the dogs won't understand why their friend doesn't come back. He can't retire."
Someone else urged: "Aww, go back and visit them sometimes they’ll remember ya." A fourth commenter remarked "what a lovely man! The dogs could tell he's a true friend."
