It also prompted more than a few phone calls to the Poulsbo city hall and the police department; some folks studied the photo
enough to figure out what police department were with and they were interested enough to call and ask about Kilo’s shirt and
wanted details. We got calls literally from all over the country, for years afterward. One lady was so smitten she knitted a giant
custom yarn blanket for us, which I donated to the PPD to hang on a wall.

For years, I heard from completely random people about it; like when the local librarian told me her uncle in Minnesota had
seen it and thought of her, since she worked in Poulsbo, or when a random public works employee mentioned his mother in
Pennsylvania had shared the photo with him, and even once a nurse at my colonoscopy prep room recognized me.

That photo was the one and only time Kilo really posed in that shirt. If I had known it was going to become so freaking famous
I would have changed a few things about it – for instance, his nametag isn’t really visible and I feel pretty sure that if everybody
could see his name was KILO then the view count would have certainly gone up because of the “aww lookit that” cuteness factor
- but all things considered, since this photo is clearly my lasting legacy on the world wide web, I’m okay with how it turned out.
I took some notes for posterity. Here are some of the Facebook pages that came to my attention, circa 2016-2018. This first
section has the pages/posts where the photo presented as a video format, to activate a total view counter:

The “Do You Think I Am Cute” site gained another million views long after I thought it had peaked; when the view count slowed
to a near stop I stopped following it. A few months later I checked in again and saw it had rallied somehow for some reason, so
I had to come back and revise the stats here again. And then again about a year after first posted, it gained another 75,000 views,
probably because the number of shares was close to half a million.
