Potato is an incredibly social dog, and her favorite thing in the world is saying hi to everyone who lives in her neighborhood on a daily basis.
“Her personality is like a door greeter at a grocery store,” Cee, Potato’s parent (who asked that their last name not be included), told The Dodo.
Ever since she was 6 months old, Potato has always loved spending all day outside in the front yard, waiting for people to come by and pet her. It was her favorite hobby — until the pandemic started, and people were suddenly worried that Potato’s family wouldn’t want anyone petting her anymore.
Potato’s parents wanted to find a way to let everyone in the neighborhood know that it was OK to keep giving her love and attention, so they decided to make a sign.
“We wanted to reassure people it was OK to pet her,” Cee said. “Plus, she was getting depressed from the sudden lack of attention. She started barking at people she knew who normally pet her who had stopped. And we figured it would be a nice way to be connected to our neighbors and to help people feel a little less lonely during this weird time.”
Potato’s parents spent time crafting the perfect intro sign for Potato, something cute and friendly that showcased her personality. They posted it on the fence outside their house — and suddenly, people were even more in love with Potato than they were before.
