Well that was a very moving story about Max. It reminds me of my adopted dog when he arrived here, he was cold, shivering, lots of cuts in his paws and ears, due to his struggles inside the cage for over a year.

I'm glad the story had a happy ending... so many don't. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMost of the dogs in our family have been rescues. Max's story was very moving and we are happy for him that it had a good ending. Sasha & I (Ernie) did not have a good start in our lives either. We are very happy now and have a great home. Mom keeps saying we came a long way.
