During the lockdown of 2020, when it was decided that children would be out of school for an extended period of time and would be engaged in technology for months or years, I started wondering what contribution I could make to assist children to get a break from the computer.

When I was raising the children (nieces, nephews, and my child), we had a dog named Max. He and the boys were inseparable. He was a loving, beautiful dog. I, therefore, decided to write a story with Max as the main character.

In this story, both Marcus and Max or Maximum need to belong. They were fortunate enough to be adopted in the same loving family. Marcus and Max were inseparable best friends. Both of them brought joy to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, who had no family members close by. Marcus excelled in school, and Maximum excelled as a brave and courageous dog.

Marcus and Maximum completed the Jackson's household. Max became famous.
