The two had been inseparable—sharing games, walks, and quiet moments. Her family, heartbroken by her loss, was also moved by Max’s quiet grief. He lay beside her coffin throughout the service, a living symbol of loyalty and love.
Witnesses were touched by the dog’s devotion. Many said Max seemed to understand exactly what was happening, grieving just like any member of the family.
