The 'Treat Fairy on Wheels': 96-Year-Old Brightens His Community Daily
Meet the 'Treat Fairy on Wheels'
Every morning in an Arizona RV resort, a 96-year-old man named Bill Tallyn gets on his bicycle with a basket full of treats. Then he starts his special mission - delivering goodies to all the neighborhood pets.
A Daily Tradition for 23 Years
Bill has kept up this sweet routine every day for twenty-three years, no matter the weather. Rain or shine, the pets in Mesa can count on their friend to come by with something tasty.
A Route Filled with Furry Friends
Bill's delivery route includes more than 50 dogs and cats. What makes his service even more special is that he knows each animal by name. These pets have learned his schedule so well that they wait by their doors when it's time for him to ride by. Their tails wag with joy when they see him coming.
Even when pets aren't home during his rounds, Bill makes sure to leave a treat for them to find later. No furry friend gets left out.
How It All Began
The story started simply. Bill had a few dogs of his own and thought some of his neighbors' pets might enjoy treats too. But he couldn't bear to leave any pet without a snack. Soon, making rounds to the whole neighborhood became his daily tradition.
Community Support
The neighbors appreciate Bill so much that they keep his treat supply well-stocked. They leave packages at his door so he never runs out. This community effort ensures his kind gesture never becomes a money problem for him.
More Than Just Treats
Bill's daily bike rides do more than make pets happy - they bring joy to the entire community. His neighbors say he brightens everyone's day.
This daily ritual has become about much more than just handing out dog and cat treats. It represents the warmth, connection, and neighborly spirit that Bill brings to the whole community.
At 96 years old, the "Treat Fairy on Wheels" shows that small acts of kindness can create lasting bonds between neighbors - both human and animal alike.
