Meet Dorien Bryant and Patrick Craves – an adorable Philadelphia-based couple that wants to have kids. For an obvious reason, they can’t exactly get pregnant, so they decided to do something else… They got the cutest Australian Shepherd named Asher!

Dorien Bryant is an ex-Purdue football player, who’s NFL career ended prematurely due to injuries and his not wanting to hide being gay. Now he’s happily come out and in love with the handsome Patrick Craves. Don’t they both just look so genuinely happy together?

More info: pcraves

“Since my boyfriend and I can’t have a kid…”, Patrick wrote

“Already chewing everything in sight!”

“All tuckered out in his food dish!”

I don't really get the article... My bf and I don't have kids either and we have three cats. Like a LOT of same sex couple who have cats or dogs... I mean, it's cute and all, but it sounds more like self promoting than anything else...

Not sure why this is such a popular post, actually. (Although the pup is very cute) People have pets because they can't have children all the time - although it is usually sneered upon.

Probably because the guys are good looking, the puppy is extremely cute, and because they have the same sex? It is the combination of things mixed with the typical readership of Bored Panda...

I wish more pets like Asher could find "forever homes" such as yours. We need more Dorien and Patricks in this world.
