For a child, a dog is the best playmate they could ever ask for. Dogs can teach kids compassion, collaboration, and responsibility. Dogs and kids somehow always get along perfectly well, their bond is often so strong nothing could ever break it. 

When you can't own a dog, sometimes you have to improvise, which is exactly what this dog obsessed kid ended up doing.

A 4th grader's heartwarming letter recently went viral after his neighbors shared it on social media. The little boy offered in the letter to become his neighbors' dog sitter "after this virus", and it's honestly the most wholesome things you will ever see. 

Dog lovers everywhere resonated with the sentiment of, "I'll do anything to spend time with dogs and puppies!"

Troy, a 4th grader and dog lover wrote this letter in an attempt to maybe become this adorable pupper's sitter

The wholesome letter reads:

“Hello neighbors, my name is Troy, I’m in 4th grade and I’m just wondering if maybe after this virus you need a dog sitter and if so, I can take your dog on walks and more,”

The little boy was hoping he could become the dog sitter for his neighbors’ golden retriever after the quarantine

Troy’s letter was posted on Arthur’s Instagram with the following caption:

“I made friends with a small hooman today. He’s like basically me-sized. I bet I can get him to give me more treats than my hoomans.”

Troy and Arthur were finally able to have their first play date together after a while

An update was eventually shared on Arthur's Instagram:

“Just a quick pupdate – me and the smol neighbor had a really great (socially distant) play date today. Because he’s so smol we didn’t take any pics just for privacy purposes but he told me all about his dog fren and even showed me some dance moves!! I have a feeling we’re gonna be best buds!”

“I have a feeling we’re gonna be best buds!”

Arthur quickly became famous on Instagram after the letter went viral. The adorable pupper now has over 30k followers!

“My hoomans told me that me and my fren Troy broke the puppernet yesterday,” Arthur “shared” on his Instagram. “I’m glad it brought me so many new frens!! Do any of you have treats to spare? I celebrated my newfound celebrity status by trying to eat a dead baby bird because I gotta keep my hoomans humble.”
