Maverick was just flesh and bones when Joey Maxwell and his wife first spotted him at a death shelter. They adopted him, and MAF became a member of their family for six joyful years.
Therefore, when the dog was diagnosed with lymphoma a few years ago, Maxwell did everything he could to help his four-legged companion fight cancer-and the first round of treatment was successful. However, a couple of months ago, the disease reappeared, which made him unable to move.
As a result, the owner decided to take the dog for a carriage ride. What started as an attempt to make the days of MAF’s death as pleasant as possible turned out to have a huge impact on the dog’s health.
“When we take him out, he barks at everyone who passes by until he pats him because he thinks the whole world is there to love him,” Maxwell explained to CBS News.
“We’re in a great position because we know how much MAF means to a lot of other people now, and we know he felt everything from that again.”
Maverick feels love: now he can sit on his own and get stronger day by day!
