Akyra was suffering from seperation anxiety when Brittani would leave for work, so she wondered about getting a mature, calming playmate for her. We went to the Humane Society and walked through the barking, jumping, cowering and nervous dogs confined to their cages. As we walked past this one Pit Bull in his cage, we noticed he just set there, leaning against his door, wagging his tail each time we walked past. Brittani arranged for a meet and great for us and him. What an adorable snuggle bear. Max was Akyra`s new playmate.
