    Maximus spent his whole life on a changed n wishing somebody would notice him. This was his whole life and he was about to die alone and sad. This week he has been on his first ever holidays with his new family (1/6) 🧵

    What broke my heart the most at the start was not his physical condition but rather how much Maximus loved company and humans. He was in agony (2/6)

    This week his beloved family took him on his big holidays with them. He hasn’t been missing any meals that’s for sure (3/6)

    It hard to believe this is the same dog. A dog that apparently was so “vicious and dangerous” he “had” to be kept on a chain (4/6)

  5. #5

    The part I love the most is his new family wouldn’t leave him with friends or in a pet hotel. The love him so much he had to come with them on their holidays (5/6)

    He used to wait alone on his chain but everybody ignored him. Now Maximus sits under his family’s table at the beach. The perfect ending 🏖️ (6/6)
