Three months ago, my family adoptedadopté a dog from the local animal shelterrefuge. His name is Max, and he is a three-year-old golden retrievergolden retriever. At first, Max was shy and scared because he had lived in the shelter for a long time. But after a few weeks, he became more confidentconfiant and playful. Now he loves going for walks in the park and playing with other dogs. Having a pet has changed our daily routineroutine. We wake up earlier to walk him before work, and we spend more time outdoors. Max has become a real member of our family.
