Marsha Pierce of Fairfax Station sent this photo of Ryan and Gretchen Pierce's little black and white dog named Gracie Belle. She loves hanging out at the Pierce Bar LL Ranch in Wimberley, Texas. "Safety first" as she wears her little doggie life vest while standing on a kneeboard.

This is the picture of our family English bulldog Bandit with Ryan Saba. In this picture Bandit is 10-weeks old and Ryan is 23 working for Horn Point Laboratory and about to start a master’s program at the University of Maryland. On the day the picture was taken, Ryan drove from Cambridge, Md., just to see Bandit. They were inseparable: Ryan would be wrestling with the little puppy, taking him for walks (mainly carrying him in his hands), turning Bandit into the next Hollywood star by taking countless pictures and videos and letting the puppy fall asleep in his arms exhausted from all the play. This picture was taken three years ago, just days before the tragic car accident took Ryan away from us and Bandit. This picture of a smiling young man and his beloved puppy will always be very special and dear to our family and everyone who knew Ryan. Today Bandit is a 3-year-old beautiful and loving dog who is full of energy and who will always remind us of that special connection he had with Ryan and the connection we will always have with Bandit. — Kate Saba, Fairfax Station
