This is the last photo of Stryder there will ever be. At 1:50 pm, a little over an hour ago, Stryder was put down, lying on his favorite bed. He was 16 years old and had cancer. Stryder was my brother's childhood pet and leader of the home pack since my dad's chocolate Lab Cocoa passed in 2014. He was a firm but fair leader who helped dozens of dogs acclimate and learn to socialize. I guess that makes his sergeant, Bolt, the leader now. 1/2
