This story is about love, devotion, and never-ending loyalty--two dogs, Chamba and Maxx, that came into their lives in two very different ways. Chamba was a loving, caring, placid Black Lab/German Shepherd mix whom, after suffering abuse at the hands of her former owners, found a way to free herself from her chains and run to their home, where she found love and acceptance. And Maxx was a Cockapoo she was determined to adopt. During a two-year geographical separation, they became best friends. These two dogs brought unconditional love, laughter, and tears to their family. Their passion for adventure led to quirky exploits and escapades. In the end, the family's love and devotion to Chamba and Maxx didn't match the enduring loyalty they had for one another. Their love for each other literally spanned two worlds the last night Maxx was with them. About the Author Maris B.
