Yes, i know how it feels. I also have a dog named max =D He's a german shepherd <33
We lost him, for like 3 days. But it felt like 3 years. Yes, i know you become friends with the little thing <33 next thing you know it's part of you. Then i got him back, for they stole him from me ;.;
I know how it feels and buy is it hard to let that feeling go.
