Max
Max was the dog who chose me.
Thirteen years, three apartments, two cities, and one very patient yellow lab who never met a stranger.
Max chose me at the shelter by simply walking over and sitting on my foot. The staff said no one had ever done that. I wasn’t looking for a dog that day. He was looking for a person.
He came to three apartments and two cities with me. He learned the sound of every elevator I ever lived in. He greeted every delivery driver, every neighbor, every heartbreak at the door like they were the best thing that had ever happened to him.
I put a night light in the hallway where he used to sleep. His silhouette, cut into warm wood. The hallway glows the way the room used to when he was in it. I still look for him there.
