A unique love affair reached a major landmark.
Saturday at the Hoffman Estates home of Dwayne and Lisa Laskey, their 3-year-old long-haired Chihuahua, Frannie Joy, ran outside to greet mail carrier Dan Larsen for the 500th time.
Wearing what Lisa Laskey called Frannie’s “race wear,” on this day a black-and-white checkered shirt atop a pink “skirt,” the little dog was heard whimpering and barking just inside the door awaiting her daily ritual.
At 10:27 a.m. Larsen’s postal van pulled up in front of the house. The door opened and Frannie — whose #Frannielife tag has more than 750,000 followers on several social media platforms — burst out and sprinted down the driveway to greet her friend.
