For Kobe the dog and his local binman, it was love at first sight and they\u2019re always excited to see each other. Kobe always give his best mate a \u2018superstar welcome\u2019 but he\u2019s now teaching his new sister, Daisy, all about making friends and trusting people.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool ECHO<\/a> reported on the blossoming friendship<\/a> between Kobe and Sefton<\/a> Council cleansing team worker, Peter, in September last year when their friendship melted the hearts of everyone around Merseyside. Now Kobe has a new family member, Daisy, and he\u2019s committed to showing her how great Peter is.<\/p>\n

Kobe\u2019s owner is Bootle<\/a> resident Danika Jane, who got him when he was a five-month-old pup and said he\u2019s always been a \u2018massive softie\u2019 and just loves playing with everyone he meets.<\/p>\n

She planned to buy him a high-vis jacket to wear during bin collection day, but now she might have to order another one. Danika added: \u201cKobe sits and waits every week for Peter, as soon as he hears the truck reversing he runs to the door with his tail wagging.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaisy was a little hesitant at first as she is a rescue with a traumatic past but she sees Peter and runs to him just like Kobe.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter is a credit to his family and to everybody that knows him. The way he treats Kobe and Daisy is incredible. Especially with Kobe\u2019s breed, most people cross over the road when we are on a walk but Peter shows him so much love.<\/p>\n

\u201cKobe has ALWAYS loved Peter from the moment he met him and he always will. It\u2019s nice to see that Daisy is learning to trust other people with Kobe\u2019s guidance. They do say dogs can seek out good people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kobe\u2019s antics were filmed by Danika and racked up thousands of views in just a matter of hours. The images of him welcoming the local authority worker at the gate were shared by Sefton Council on its Facebook<\/a> page, writing: \u201cIt\u2019s bin day, which can only mean one thing \u2026 Kobe\u2019s favourite visitor is back!<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter from our cleansing team got the usual superstar welcome, and this time, Kobe\u2019s sister, Daisy joined the fan club too!<\/p>\n

\u201cMassive shoutout to Kobe\u2019s owner for sharing these adorable snaps with us!\u201d<\/p>\n

The post was shared several times and prompted several appreciative comments, including from Julie Murphy who wrote: \u201cWheelie good pics. Pawfect service.\u201d Paula Birkett added: \u201cLove this such adorable fur babies.\u201d<\/p>\n
