To celebrate National Puppy Day (not to be confused with National Dog Day, happening in August), ride-sharing company Uber offered a different service Thursday — puppies, hand-delivered by Utah Jazz forward Trey Lyles.

Users who chose the "puppies" option on their app could arrange for puppies from Nuzzles and Co. — a Park City pet adoption center — to visit their business and spend 15 minutes with employees.

Through Nuzzles' partnership with the Utah Jazz, those puppies showed up with special guest Lyles, fresh from basketball practice — though the puppies still stole the show.
