"Is Franklin part of the family now?" one wrote, while another asked: "Omg did I miss something? Did you get another dog?" A third added: "Is Franklin your new dog?" A fourth remarked: "Was Franklin the one you held on the show the other day? Are you fostering or adopting?"

Robin and Amber haven't clarified whether or not Franklin is their dog or simply a visitor, but either way it's safe to say he's incredibly cute!

Robin wasn't quite ready to adopt, but Amber was. Lukas, a Tibetan spaniel-papillon mix, caught her eye and the rest was history.

Their adopted "lil man," as he is affectionately known as, has become a firm fixture in their lives. He lives the life of luxury at their beautiful Connecticut home and enjoys vacations with his much-loved owners, too.
