A New Beginning for Max is a touching, beautifully illustrated story about hope, love, and second chances. The book introduces Max, a gentle stray dog living in a bustling animal shelter. Though surrounded by other animals, Max dreams of a family and a place to call home. His days are filled with longing as he watches visitors come and go, each time hoping someone will choose him.
