"She s leaving me; Duke will never leave me."
This is 18-year-old Kaylin Sellers with her mom, Nikki Stansberry. Next week, Kaylin is leaving their home in Lacey, Washington, for Eastern Washington University. Her mom told BuzzFeed News that she s pretty emotional about it.
“She’s my only one, so it’s going to be very tough," Stansberry said.
On Wednesday morning, Stansberry said that everyone was posting back-to-school photos on Facebook and that seeing them made her sad.
Her daughter said the photos were an annual, and obligatory, tradition. "Whether I liked it or not, my mom always had to get some pictures in," the teen told BuzzFeed News.
"This was my first time in 14 years I couldn t take a back-to-school picture," Stansberry said of her now grown-up daughter. That s when she glanced over at her golden doodle.
"I looked at Duke and I was like Wait a second— I can do a back to school picture— just with my dog. "
Well, the dog was perfect for the endeavor. "I think he loves the camera. I do," Stansberry said of Duke.
Stansberry said that Duke, normally pretty active, stays perfectly still whenever he s in front of a camera.
She used Kaylin s old backpack to create his back-to-school look.
Stansberry then sent the glam shots to Kaylin, who laughed and shared them on Twitter.
People were so moved.
"He s my son. Kailyn s been replaced," Stansberry joked. "She s leaving me; Duke will never leave me."
"Bye bye, Kaylin!" —Duke.
