Dearest Maximus, what a gorgeous German Shepherd you are! You are so handsome, and you have the sweetest personality too! You were a birthday gift to your young friend from her father, the first dog she's ever had. What a wonderful gift, and what a wonderful friendship you and she have developed! You make her smile with all your energy and antics. You and she love each other dearly, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Maximus, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear young friend and your bull-mastiff-mix housemate Mojo and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, maybe some more chasing butterflies and playing soccer!
