Saying goodbye to your beloved four-legged friend is never an easy experience, is it?

“She was my companion for almost 13 years. She was a Labrador, very cute and intelligent.”

For almost 13 years, Daniel Esparza shared an inseparable bond with his beloved Labrador, Sam. The two were constant companions, and wherever Esparza went, Sam was sure to follow. Sadly, a few months ago, Sam's age caught up with her, and she passed away due to a brain problem.

Esparza had planned one last trip to the beach for a final vacation together, but Sam's health didn't allow them to make that journey. Instead, she peacefully fell asleep one day and didn't wake up.

“She had a problem in her brain because of her age,” Esparza said. “We were supposed to have one last trip to the beach for vacation, but her health didn’t let us make it. She fell asleep one day and didn’t wake up.”

Devastated by the loss, Esparza, a professional in virtual reality technology, decided to use his skills to create a lasting tribute to Sam. Before her passing, he made a 3D scan of Sam while she was sleeping. After her departure, he used this scan to build a virtual beach in a virtual world.

I made a 3D scan of my dog Sam a couple of years ago. She passed away 7 month ago, I still miss her a lot. I still visit her in this beach scene I made in @UnrealEngine in VR because our last trip was supossed to be a little vacation in a beach, but her health didnt let us go. pic.twitter.com/5hQ1Ob9wCm

In this digital paradise, Esparza regularly visits with Sam, sharing moments on the beach they never experienced in reality. While it's not a replacement for the tangible memories they could have created together, it serves as a poignant way for Esparza to feel connected to his cherished companion.
