One afternoon, Emily found Max standing in the hallway holding a piece of cardboard in his mouth.
She laughed.
“What have you got?”
Max walked directly toward her.
Written vertically on the paper was one word.
FOLLOW.
Emily stared.
Her young nephew had been making signs earlier and left several on the floor.
Max had simply picked one up.
But the timing made Emily smile.
She took a photograph.
Max stood beneath the portrait with the FOLLOW sign hanging from his mouth.
The picture spread online.
Thousands of people shared it.
Some called Max the praying dog.
Others said the image gave them hope.
Emily knew the truth was simpler.
Max was not trying to become famous.
He was just holding a piece of paper.
But behind that funny photograph was a dog who had spent months quietly remembering the man he loved.
