Alastor Moody’s adoption helps the couple heal from the loss of their first senior dog
The couple adopted their first senior dog together in February 2020 after agreeing to foster him for the Wags and Walks Rescue. Pappy spent almost two years adventuring with his new family before the couple announced in a sweet Instagram post on November 29, 2021 that he had died.
“We weren’t there for the beginning, or the middle of his life. But we were there for what we believe to be the most important part; the end,” Dean and Caelynn wrote.
Despite mourning the loss of Pappy, Caelynn opened up about how grateful she was for Alastor. “He’s definitely helped us heal!” she responded to a comment on her Instagram post.
Pappy was a frequent guest on some of the couple’s adventures, so it’s likely we will get more updates soon on Dean, Caelynn, and Alastor Moody.
