Dog Gets His Own Personal Graduation Photo, Thereby Immortalizing His Spot In The Family
Our pets often deserve to be integral parts of our families, particularly if they have lived with us for years, doing almost everything with us. So it only makes perfect sense that our cats and dogs would join us in celebrating our cherished life’s accomplishments.
Olivia Dufresne felt the same way when her family dog, Yogi, turned 12 years old. That is the typical age at which a child graduates from primary school in Quebec, Canada.
Yogi, a Maltese-Yorkshire terrier-Shih Tzu crossbreed, is indeed very close to his big sisters, Pamela and Olivia Dufresne. Olivia and her sister, Pamela, adore Yogi, and despite the fact that he is not human, they recognize him as a bona fide member of their family.
They sometimes refer to him as their little prince or little treasure. Yogi has been such a part of their everyday life that he almost appears to be human to the family.
Yogi is a very witty dog and a fast learner who comprehends many words that most dogs do not. They enjoy spending afternoons playing hide-and-seek with Yogi, and if they’re not having a great time, he’s a particularly kind younger brother—always there when they need a little emotional support and comfort, according to Olivia.
“When we cry, he licks our tears and tries to make us laugh,” Olivia added. “When we argue, he places himself between us.”
Our pets should join in when it's time to celebrate life’s milestones

Surprisingly, the sisters decided to secretly create Yogi’s graduation photo. They then swapped an old baby picture hanging between their graduation photos with Yogi’s graduation photo while no one was around to notice it.

The entire process took a few hours of meticulous Photoshop work, but it was well worth it. Olivia almost did too good a job, as her family didn’t even notice the mantel swap for a long time.

After the skillful photo shoot, Olivia and Pamela laughed for about ten minutes before starting to cry a little with joy. Yogi’s graduation picture has remained the center of attraction in the living room to this day.
