And now, an epic tale of love and dedication only possible through video games.
Patrick Lenton is a Skyrim player who had but one simple desire: to adopt a virtual dog. Adopting a dog in Skyrim isn’t straightforward, however. As the Elder Scrolls Wiki explains, pets can live with you only if your adopted children accept them, which means that you have to go through a few hoops to get a new Scruffy.
Lenton was willing to go through some hoops, but he could have never anticipated the saga that would unfold because of it:

Alright alright I’ll try and finish Skyrim 😀
That was amazing from start to finish.
I love these stories from games. Always give me a sensible chuckle!
That’s brilliant.
loser needs to decide whether he wants to play Skyrim or fuck around on Twitter.

I wish I could get paid to constantly troll Reddit/Imgur and then post the stuff I find on another website…
Incredible stuff.
