It’s probably the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.
Her 2-year-old long-haired Chihuahua, Franny, from Chicago, USA, is an adorable pup who loves to spread joy and happiness wherever she goes. But there’s one thing she loves more than anything. That’s the Dan factor.
She fell in love with him from the first time she saw him, and the rest is history
Best love story
According to Franny’s mother, Lisa Lasky, Fran fell in love with Dan the day after she came home. It was love at first sight. From that day on, Franny waits at the front door every morning for the person she loves most in the world.
As soon as she saw his white USPS truck pull up in front of her house, she started screaming in excitement, her whole body shaking with pure happiness. “It’s really an emotional connection,” Lisa told The Dodo.
Postman Dan has been delivering mail in this part of Chicago for several years and everyone loves him. He’s always kind and enthusiastic about his work, so it’s no wonder that the dogs love him.
The day after Lasky adopted Frannie, she went to pick up the mail with the new puppy in her arms. Lasky knew Dan well, so he stopped and talked with him for a few minutes. Fran and Dan meet for the first time.
“He got out of his truck and made all these googly faces at her and let her kiss him. And ever since that day, it’s like, now this must happen every day,” Lisa said.
And, sure thing – this quickly became their adorable daily routine.

“Frannie will just sit on her little bed by the door and watch — she knows the white truck. And when the truck starts coming, her little body starts to shake, and she’ll let out a little yap to let me know that he’s here. I try to grab my shoes and be ready for her, and I throw on her leash. As soon as he steps up to our mailbox, I’ll put her on the driveway and just let her rip. She runs down the whole driveway until she gets to him … and he’s just laughing — this just makes his day,” Lisa said.
Frannie spends her day looking forward to a visit from her best friend, but it’s also Dan who looks forward to seeing Fran on his route.
This little furry girl became the best thing that happened in his career. She brightens his day and his heart fills with love as soon as he sees her.
He loves her, too, and makes sure to show it.
Lisa, Dan, and their life partners also became really good friends because of Frannie. They love to hang out together.
Last year, when Lisa had to spend some time at the hospital, Dan and his wife took care of Fran, which she obviously loved.
“I think at this point, he’s happier to see her than she is to see him on some days. It’s really turned into a mutual friendship and special connection,” Lisa said.
Almost two years after their first encounter, day after day, Frannie still excitedly waits for a visit from her favorite postman, Dan, and there is no happier girl in the whole world than her at that moment.
