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.

Lisa was so touched by the instant bond between Frannie and Dan that she decided to share a video of their first encounter on TikTok. Little did she know, this simple act would resonate with so many. Within days, the video had garnered a million views, and the story of FranDan began to spread like wildfire.
Now, with over 16 million views and a growing fan base that calls themselves "Frannie Nation," the story of this unlikely friendship has touched the hearts of people worldwide. Lisa has even created t-shirts and other merchandise, with proceeds going to a rescue organization.
FranDan’s story is a beautiful reminder that love and friendship can blossom in the most unexpected places. In a time when the world could use a little more kindness, this tale of a tiny dog and a dedicated postman is a beacon of light, showing us all that the simplest gestures of kindness can create the most profound connections.
