"It means a lot," Penix told Fox News Digital Wednesday. "It was great. It was definitely something great to do. I actually met those fans before as Husky Heroes during the season. They’re definitely big dawg fans.

"It was definitely something special to be able to do that and see the looks on their faces. It was amazing."

Penix was featured in an Amazon video making the deliveries in a quick but safe manner. Amazon has prided itself on fast and reliable delivery. The company said in a blog post in July the "average time from picking a customer’s items to positioning the customer’s package on the outbound dock is 11 minutes in same-day facilities, more than an hour faster than our traditional fulfillment centers."
