Dogs are extremely loyal animals. If this doggie had only met his mistress for a few days, he did not abandon her when she found herself lost and needed a companion. A natural altruism that moved the family.
Pearl Radcliff, an 84-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease, lives with her nephew Dawne Griffith near Houston, Texas in the United States.
The duo is inseparable. Pearl indeed needs special attention.
On August 28, 2022, they decided to do a good deed by adopting Maximus, a beautiful black Labrador Retriever from a shelter.
The animal quickly settled into its new home and quickly bonded with its owners.
Maximus naturally comforted Pearl when she suffered bouts of anxiety brought on by her illness.
On September 6, 2022, the woman went out for a walk with her new canine friend. Unfortunately, they did not return home.
Intensive research
Dawne quickly contacted Houston police who dispatched rescue groups Texas Center for the Missing and EquuSearch.
Searches were organized and fortunately, on September 8, after 2 days of wandering, Pearl was found safe and sound.
Moreover, Maximus had stayed by her side to watch over her. Dawne was extremely touched by the loyalty of the pooch who had only been in their home for 9 days, reports People.
The good news was shared on social networks and aroused the admiration of the community. The dog has thus benefited from its hour of glory.
Pearl was taken to the city hospital for a check-up. She has very few memories of what happened during these 2 days of disappearance and therefore suffered no trauma. She is also in great physical shape.
Maximus, meanwhile, had been taken to the pound. Dawne picked him up the next day and said, “We’ll never let him leave us again. He is part of our family and I couldn’t be more grateful to him for protecting my aunt.»
