In the meantime, here’s a heartwarming story that might bring a smile to your face:
Maverick was just a frail pup when Joey Maxwell and his wife first saw him at a shelter on the brink of closure. They adopted him, and for six wonderful years, Maverick became a cherished member of their family. When Maverick was diagnosed with lymphoma, Maxwell did everything he could to support his beloved dog through treatment. While the first round was successful, the cancer returned a few months ago, leaving Maverick unable to move.
To make Maverick’s remaining days as pleasant as possible, Maxwell decided to take him for carriage rides. What began as a simple gesture to bring joy to Maverick’s life had an unexpectedly positive effect on his health.
“When we take him out, he barks at everyone who passes by until they pet him because he thinks the whole world is there to love him,” Maxwell shared with CBS News.
The community’s response has been overwhelming. Maxwell received a 50% discount on the carriage after sharing his story, and the cashier was moved to tears. People in their village recognize Maverick and offer their support. Maverick, who loves these outings, seems to be gaining strength every day, thanks to the love and attention he receives.
