Clever Dog Had His Own Graduation Photoshoot And It Is So Lovely
Most people love their pets, but there is a certain portion of the population that loves their pets a little bit more than the average person does. Which is totally fine; loving pets is an incredible thing and truly one of the purest relationships possible to have.
However, there is no doubt that choosing a pet and finally committing to getting one is a huge decision that should not be taken lightly. This is what happened with Alex's family and their dog, Ollie.
This family had wanted a dog for so long that when they finally got one, he was really treated like one of the children. Ollie even got a graduation photoshoot—check it out below!
Alex's family decided to make an Instagram account for their beloved dog, Ollie.
Alex's graduation ceremony last year was canceled because of the pandemic, but when they took her graduation photos, they decided to include Ollie, too.
Alex said:
“We always said he was a professional good boy, so we thought we’d make it official with his own dog-ploma. He’s a typical retriever who loves to carry things, so he was very pleased with himself when we gave him his own scroll to hold for the photo. After a quick photo with the camera, he got lots of praise as usual. We took the hat off him, but he didn’t want to give his scroll back.”

Of course they got it printed!

They even hid it in their grandmother's house!
“I forgot about the photo until my mum and dad had my own graduation photos printed. They decided that they didn’t want to leave Ollie out and had his photos printed as well without telling me. It gave my sister and me a big laugh when we saw Ollie’s graduation photo on the wall next to ours.”
“We snuck it into my Nan’s house alongside all of her other grandchildren’s graduation photos. She thought it was hilarious, and she loves it. It’s now her favorite photo, and she shows it to anyone who comes to see her.”

Ollie is SUCH a good boy! Have you ever done anything like this for your pets? Tell us in the comments.
