"Leia is not your typical cuddly dog," Snyder told. "She's very independent and laid-back."

"Leia loves all of her humans in her own way," she added. "Whether it be by laying near you during movie night or sitting outside of the bathroom door waiting for you to finish."

Snyder could see Leia was enjoying her vacation, but she had no idea how deep the dog's bond had become with her dad until their relationship was put to the test. When her dad – or granddad, rather – had to stay at the hospital overnight, she demonstrated just how much she loved and missed him.
