MAX, My Four Legged Little Brother - LOH #78

Hello Hivians and Beautiful Ladies of Hive.

Thanks to @nkemakonam89 for inviting me to this week's contest. I love both questions raised by @tibaire and I will be going for the second one, which is:

Pets are a gentle breeze or sometimes a big splash. We would like to hear about that special pet in your life. It can be the pet you had as a child or your current pet.
What do you think about it?

Before getting my current pet, I didn't fancy having a pet.

How it all started:

My dad had bought a dog, I'm not sure of the breed but I guess it is a mix of Boerboel and I don't know what else. Well, I was away when the dog was brought, by the time I returned it was quite big.

By the way, my dog's name is "Max" I call him "Maxi". So I started by giving him food of course while he was caged because he is a very aggressive dog.

So every day I give it a bone or something to eat so as to build the relationship and with time he got to know me but I was still scared.

Later on, I would release him from his cage but with a cane so that if he misbehaves I would hit him, you know to build fear in him.

It went on like this for a while till I was so sure and confident that he was scared of me and he was familiar with me. I could then release him, play with him, and bathe him without holding any cane.

Max is such a lovely cute and scary dog. One time, my friends visited me, most of them couldn't come into the compound because of how aggressively Max was barking and hitting his cage like he wants to break it down.

Ever since my friends call him a Wolf😂😂 I couldn't stop laughing.

Max is so sweet. Whenever I return from anywhere he would run so fast to welcome me, he would jump on me and lay on his back wanting me to rub his tummy.

He would come to my butt to sniff it, he does the same to my sis, I was curious so I went online to check. I learned that dogs do that to gain knowledge of the whereabouts of a person or other dogs

This is what was said on one of the sites I checked:

So, if you’ve been away from your dog for a few hours or longer, your dog will sniff your butt to figure out where you went, if everything is okay, and—believe it or not—as a way to calm down and reduce stress from having been separated from you!

When a dog sniff’s a human butt, she or he is learning if that human…

is male or female

is menstruating or not

has given birth recently or is pregnant

Read more on it here

Max can be very naughty, there are times when I might probably be on a call and he would want to play I would yell at him before I know it Max would start barking at me, he is a naughty boy.

I love him so so much, he is more than a pet to me, more like a little brother.

Thank you for reading.
