*Maya:

I love animals since I was little and I always wanted to have a dog. My parents were not sure, because they never had had any pet at home and they didn’t know very well how to take care of them.

One day, a Mexican couple came into my parents shop with two old Dalmatian dogs and two puppies, Maya and her brother. They were desperate because they were moving to New York the next day early and they only wanted to carry the little male dog and his parents. The couple asked my father if he wanted to have a dog, and my father looked at Maya and agreed.


I don’t really know what happened after that, I only remember that I arrived home like any other day from school and found my brother and parents around Maya; I couldn’t believe it, I was very excited.
I was ten years old when this happened, and I remember it very clearly, I hope not to forget this day never anyway.


Now that I am sixteen years old and Maya seven, I think that she is the best dog we can have, she is obedient, calm, and very affectionate. There are two things she specially likes a lot: to go to the beach and to sunbathe. When I am surfing, because I usually bring her with me when I go to the beach, Maya always stays in the sea shore waiting for me, and one day, I discovered that she knows who I am when I am surfing, because she stays looking at me and when I get closer to the sea shore, if there are small waves, she starts swimming towards me so exited. In the other hand, she loves sunbathing, and it’s so funny to see her doing this, because at midday, after lunch, she starts looking for a sunny place all over the house and when she finds it, she lies down, and stays there for a long time.. (pic.: Maya waiting..)


I think we are so lucky having a dog like her, because dogs, like humans, are all different… but she is the perfect one for us! :)
