It's not easy when you know a beloved pet is about to pass away, but these Australian siblings made the most of the final moments of this dog's life.
The Dobbie sisters in Adelaide recreated a childhood photo with Tigger, their Jack Russell terrier of 16 years before it was about to be put down.
“My sisters and I were gathered around sharing our memories and photos of Tigger when he was a pup while we were waiting for the vet to come to our house to put him to rest,” Louise Dobbie told ABC News. “We came across this photo, which we probably haven't seen in a good seven-plus years, and my sister, Samantha, suggested we re-create the photo."
The photo was shared to Reddit on Thursday, with the original shot more than 15 years ago. “Immediately we were rummaging through clothes trying to find the right attire to do so,” Dobbie told the outlet, who came together with her sisters to recreate it this week, all now in their twenties.
Commenters remarked how they "don't know whether to smile or cry," or knew how "tough to recreate the smiles" knowing that he was about to be put to sleep.
“He loved people and it’s very ironic that the story of Tigger has now touched the hearts of people he never even met,” Dobbie said.
Don't forget to hug your loved ones.
