Maxi is an amazing and loving dog, my best friend. He can be a little anxious since he grew up during the pandemic and never really learned how to be alone, but his loyalty and affection are unmatched. He’s now staying with my parents in Colombia because I couldn’t bear to separate him from our family, and I know he’s happier in a home environment rather than living with me as a student abroad. Collies, like Maxi, are known for being vocal, and he’s no exception—he’s loud, expressive, and full of personality. He’s also incredibly smart and clever, always impressing me with his wit. I love him with all my heart.
