A Dinner Conversation
PexelsOne Indiana dad named Keenan Watkins was preparing dinner for his two children, Ash and Aayla, when his 9-year-old daughter asked him, “Daddy Poo, will you take Davey with you tomorrow, everywhere you go?”, to which he absent-mindedly agreed.
He Realized What Happened
Facebook, Love What MattersAfter hearing a shriek of awe and excitement in his daughter’s voice, Keenan realized what he just agreed to and that he would have to keep his word.
His Task
Facebook, Love What MattersThe next morning Keenan helped the kids get ready for school. As Aayla was walking down the driveway towards the bus, she turned to him and said “Don’t forget to go get Davey’s clothes, Daddy!”
Keeping Davey Safe

Walking Around

He Encountered A Lot Of People

This includes a sales staff who pointed him to the baby clothes aisle, an employee who snapped some photos of him and posted them on Facebook, and a little girl who couldn’t seem to think why a big guy has a perfectly good doll that she could be playing with.
He Documented His Day

A Role Model
