The family posted a sign in their front yard stating the date and time of Elizabeth's birthday celebration.
"The gist was, 'Hey, if you're going to walk your dog anyway, would you mind just walking by our place between 5 and 5:30 and wish her a happy birthday with your pup?'" Elizabeth's father, Mike, told News & Record.
The family was shocked by the response.
