My dog is the coolest because...
Izzy isn’t just our dog—she’s basically the neighborhood celebrity.

When we let her outside, she doesn’t just wander around. She goes on visits. She has several houses on our street where neighbors happily let her in, give her treats, and spend time with her. Our neighbors joke that Izzy practically lives with them sometimes, spending hours in their yard or front porch just soaking up attention.

One of my favorite things is when I pull into the driveway and see her standing in our neighbor’s yard, just staring at me. She doesn’t move at first—she just watches. Then, the moment she realizes it’s me, she explodes into action, barking, sprinting toward me, tail wagging like she just discovered her favorite person all over again.

Izzy has this funny greeting bark, a little dance she does when she’s excited, and a personality that makes everyone feel special. People don’t just like Izzy—they connect with her.

She doesn’t just belong to our family. She belongs to the whole neighborhood. And that’s what makes her the coolest dog I’ve ever known.
