Max was just three months old when he was adopted by a man named Jonathan. The dog was extremely devoted, and he made his master very happy. They spent endless hours together and shared numerous happy moments.
Jonathan’s pet was the ideal buddy who never failed to cheer him up. Max’s disposition usually made him grin, and he eagerly anticipated playing with his pet. Even moments that can be described as boring, such as just sitting on the sofa, were activities that they really cherished as long as they were together.
One day, Jonathan observed that his dog was in distress, and that made him feel like he, too, was in agony.
It all began when he observed that every time Max moved, he was in discomfort. Over time, he observed that the dog’s mobility became severely restricted. His condition eventually rendered him completely immobile. Even when Jonathan moved Max for a bit, the dog whimpered because it was experiencing discomfort.
An examination by a vet revealed that the dog has a herniated disc that was exerting pressure on his spine. Even after undergoing surgery, there was no assurance that the dog would regain complete mobility. But the dog’s suffering would cease at least. Additionally, there was also the risk that the dog would not survive the procedure.
The veterinarian suggested putting Max to sleep. But Jonathan was not willing to take this option and he decided to allow Max to have surgery. If there was any possibility that the sick dog could recover, he would take it even if it actually meant that he would have to shell out a great deal of money. He was really willing to take the risk to help Max.
The operation was then scheduled for the dog and he miraculously survived. He could really only move his front legs, but the procedure was a success because the discomfort was finally gone.
Jonathan bought a wheelchair for his dog and spent a great deal of time caring for the animal. He assisted the dog in relieving himself and also provided him with the needed therapy.
Max was surprising his normal happy self even if there were now limitations. But this was fine with Jonathan because he preferred that his dog maintained the same disposition that he had as before.
