    Maximus 48 hours ago with no hope or no future. I have some nice improvements on him today but also some absolutely incredible news. It’s been a very big day for him… (1/6) 🧵

    We’ve been doing a lot of treatment on him. Sadly you can see what a toll the short chain and lifestyle has taken on him. His ears had been docked and they are red raw like his skin (2/6)

    With good food, creams for his skin, love and injections to ease the pain you can see the life coming back into him. (3/6)

    Believe it or not the “owners” only allowed us to take him to treat him. They wanted him back. Today the wonderful team of Jah, Earth and Soup negotiated with them. I didn’t go as a foreign face wouldn’t help. Me and Maximus held our breath (4/6)

    He is still in a massive amount of pain and has a lot of recovering to do. But his future is now safe. Maximus Decimus Meridius is now a free man. We’ll build a life for him from here. Look at that smile. He knows 🥰🙏 (6/6)
