Aware that he was hurting, the family decided to adopt Quackers and Max immediately fell in love with him. “He was without any friends, and so Max would sit next to his pen all the time and I think they just kind of bonded that way,” owner Patrick Riley said. “After we let him out, they just never left each other’s side.”
