It doesn’t get any cuter than this!

Troy is a 10-year-old boy, who recently viral for writing a letter to his neighbors asking them to babysit their new puppy

The 4th grader from Chicago, Illinois, was delighted when his neighbors came home with a new golden retriever puppy. He decided to write them a letter, asking if he could help them out with dog sitting. In the letter he wrote:

“Hello neighbor, 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 neighbors had already made an Instagram for their puppy named Arthur, so they decided to post the precious letter
