What's up dog?
Maui is the eldest of 3 boys, he has two younger human brothers. His youngest brother is autistic and needs a lot of attention and Maui helps me and his dad to entertain and care for his little brothers with amazing dedication and patience. He’s a very happy, loving and hilarious member of our family and we love him so much for the joy he brings us every day.
