And though Donovan acknowledged that his boss might punish him for going off route to deliver Mr. Snickers to address labeled on his collar, he knew he had to help the lost dog get home.

"I have a strict policy of stopping and chasing stray dogs I see," he wrote on Reddit.

After delivering a few pies together, Donovan made the trip across town to return the dog to its owner.

As for how his employer might react to news of his mid-delivery dog rescue, Donovan isn't wildly concerned about repercussions.

In his own words: "Lost dogs > pizza."
