Men Cry Too: Dylan's Story of Loving and Losing His Beloved Lia | Sit, Lay, Rest
Welcome back to Sit, Lay, Rest! In today’s episode, hosts Ashley and Liz sit down with Dylan for a deeply personal conversation about navigating the highs and lows of life with a beloved dog. Dylan shares the unforgettable story of Lia, his Siberian husky and constant companion through college, career changes, and cross-country moves. From classic tales of puppy mischief—like Lia’s incredible ability to chew through and get stuck inside a couch—to moments of loyalty and love, we’re treated to anecdotes that capture the essence of their bond.
As Lia grew older and faced health challenges, Dylan opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of vet visits, difficult decisions, and preparing for loss. Together, the hosts and Dylan discuss what it means to grieve, especially for men, and the importance of finding community with others who deeply understand the heartbreak of saying goodbye to a pet.
If you’ve ever experienced the love of an animal, this episode will strike a chord—bringing together laughter, tears, and heartfelt reflections on how our pets shape our lives long after they’re gone. Settle in for a touching tribute to Lia, and a conversation about healing, remembering, and honoring every paw print left behind.
