30-year-old Gordon Delacroix and his dog Birdy have been best friends for 15 years. Unfortunately, the dog was recently diagnosed with cancer.

“He could easily be great for another six months, but it’s also possible that he’ll get very sick again soon and this time for the last time,” Gordon said. To honor his best friend, Gordon decided to recreate the photo in front of his grandmother’s house in Belgium in the exact same pose he took at the age of 15 and 25.

“It breaks my heart just to think about it, but we’ve had so many great years and adventures together. I’m grateful he was part of my life.”

I may look like a cat, but deep down I'm a panda. Sometimes I'm lazy, sometimes I'm bored - I'm just like you, but a bit cooler.

So sad......Cancer is devestating. It not only takes our human loved ones from us, but our four legged ones as well.

Very sad, but that's where we will all end up, I hope he died peacefully and I hope you get another dog soon to ease the loss and love it as much as you did the old lad.

For quite a while afterm Birdy's gone, he'll cry when he looks at those photos of him and his dig. But in the years to come after the emptiness in his heart as healed better, he'll smile at all the sweet memories. Those photos will be priceless to him.
