The home that Maria formed together with Bruno and Maxi.

Once again I confirm that animals are beautiful and special beings that God created on this earth with a purpose; Dogs are without a doubt man's best friends, they are the ones that give us their unconditional love, they give us affection and they are the only ones that jump with joy when we enter the door of the house, they are never sad or annoyed to play or give you their attention.

There are many things I could tell you about these animals, thank God I have had the opportunity to live the experience of having a puppy at home and it is something wonderful, at this moment I can remember the most recent one I had at home, his name was Tutti, he always slept next to me and accompanied me everywhere, Tutti was a miniature pinche breed and that's why he seemed more special to me because they are so small that it makes you cuddle them all the time. But unfortunately he left us because of a vaccine he got wrong.

But today let's not talk about ugly things, today I come to tell you about beautiful things that happen to us in life, those stories that are worth to be told so that many people understand why we have to love and respect animals.

Today I want to tell you the story of my niece Maria Jose, she is very young, she is only 25 years old and since she was a little girl she has loved animals, she loves them so much that one day she decided to become a veterinarian, a career of which she only managed to study 3 years at the University of Zulia, in Venezuela.  Unfortunately one day she got tired of not being able to succeed in her career and left for Chile where she was already part of our family.

Maria Jose has always been a serious and responsible girl, so she quickly settled down and got a job and a place to live very close to the beach, one day walking through the colony she found a puppy stuffed in a box that its owner had taken out in a cardboard box for someone to take it and get him a home. Maria Jose could not resist so much emotion and sadness, seeing that poor helpless dog, she felt that if she left him there she would not be able to sleep that night just thinking about what would become of that puppy's life if she left him there.

        That is how Bruno came into her life and although she herself had nowhere to live formally she took him in and to this day he remains with her and has been the one who has filled her with love and affection. In him, Maria poured all her feelings, those she felt at night far from her home, her mother and her own daughter.  As you can see, Bruno's company, even if he is a little animal, has helped her to calm her nerves and to not feel so lonely in a strange land.

I have saved all these images that Maria has shared in our WhatsApp group, I have always thought that someday when Venezuela recovers and everyone returns home, I will be able to make a video with all these images and we will all sit together to laugh for a while about all the beautiful things we lived despite being separated.

"It is no longer one but two".

Here the story does not stop, here is where I show you that big heart that Maria has and the love she has for the animals, because it turns out that it was no longer just one puppy but now there were two, when all of us here found out immediately we thought Maria Jose was crazy; I remember once I asked her how she was going to separate from them when she had to go back to Venezuela and she answered me, "aunt, when I leave, they are the first ones to get on the plane".

        The second puppy is named Maxi and was offered to Maria since he was born, of course she didn't have the heart to refuse. Maria tells us that he is the calmer of the two. Maxi has poise and elegance, he doesn't like to get dirty and wherever he goes he always chooses the best places to lie down.

Just like Bruno, Maxi began to have his own stories, now they are all a beautiful family and I love it when Maria tells us about them.  Luckily they live on the beach, so they always go for a walk and while Maxi is careful not to get dirty, Bruno runs like crazy after his ball, gets into the water and fills everything with sand.

Here the whole family is happy, because if Maria Jose is well then we will be too. I only hope that the day will come when I will be able to hug María again and meet Bruno the messy and Maxi the elegant, who have filled her life with happiness.

In order to write this story and publish these images I have asked my niece for permission, because I think it is a very beautiful and touching story to tell.
