JOY AND PAIN


Unfortunately the great joy of our arrival from the desert was off-set by the pain that struck the family: Puck the big dog of Max, much loved by everyone, died the same night, maybe from a heart attack. He was only three and a half years old and was in great health. This summer we had hiked a lot together: he followed us in the mountains and he could arrive with us to extremely high difficult places, without a problem, untypical for a Great Dane. Max and Lauren have lost a great life companion and the many adventures they had together leave us all with an empty sensation. They decided to get a new puppy, that will arrive after Christmas. He will not be a substitute in their hearts for Puck, but his presence will help them to get over their sorrow and pass their joy on to another puppy.
