When Dylan was a young man, his mother wanted to do something special to commemorate his high school graduation. And what better way to commemorate Dylan's adventure than to include his constant companion in the fun?
Ruger, the family's dog, had been with them on their journey.
Ruger has been a treasured and beloved member of the family since the day he was adopted, and he has been a member of the family for over a decade. Ruger joined the family as a puppy, and Dylan was still a child.
They became fast friends, and their friendship was wonderful and caring.
Dylan and Ruger were childhood friends, and Ruger witnessed all of the monumental and priceless events that shaped Dylan into the young man he is today.
Ruger was still a puppy on Dylan's first day of school, so the two took a photo to commemorate the momentous occasion.
Dylan's mother, Corie Bliss, had the brilliant idea years later, when Dylan was graduating from high school, to recreate the endearing shot from Dylan's first day of school.
The photo turned out well and depicts the passage of time in a lovely, caring, but slightly melancholy way.
Dylan was relieved to have a photograph that captured Ruger's significance in his life as well as the devotion and affection that existed between them. Corie found it difficult to compare the images.
Ruger was and still is a vital member of the family. He has shared both extraordinary and mundane experiences with the family over the years, providing an endless supply of deeply loved memories.
Ruger's journey will unfortunately end soon. The elderly dog has been battling cancer for some time, and it will soon be time for him to lie down and rest.
Ruger's family is devastated by the prospect of losing him, but they are grateful for all of the wonderful memories and experiences he has provided over the years.
They are now making the most of the remaining time. Ruger, like the rest of his family, isn't done creating memories.
For the time being, they are preoccupied with their feelings for one another and making the most of the time they have together.
The touching reenactment moved many people, who expressed their love for Dylan and Ruger.
