Frannie Waits By the Door Every Morning 

Every morning, Monday through Saturday, Frannie eagerly waits by her door for Postman Dan's arrival. As soon as he pulls up to the mailbox, Frannie’s owner, Lisa Laskey, opens the door, and the tiny pup dashes out to greet her favorite person. It’s a routine that has brought joy to their neighborhood and millions online.

The friendship began in 2021, shortly after Frannie joined Lisa’s family. One day, as Lisa went to retrieve her mail, she decided to introduce the new family member to the postman. What happened next was nothing short of magical.

"The mailman had just pulled up. I didn't really know the guy. I said, ‘Hey, you want to meet the newest member of my family?’ And I was holding her really close because she was tiny. And he said, ‘Yeah, sure, why not?’ And he turned his truck off. He got out of the mail truck, handed her to him, and she went bonkers kissing his face like just over and over and over, like she knew him for years and years. And she was, you know, barely 12 weeks old. And I thought, this is super unusual," Lisa recalls.
