Giant Akita plays with tiny puppy

Enkei the Pug has an unusual best friend, which is Maya the Japanese Akita. These two have loved each other from day one! Enkei at first was at slightly wary of Maya because of her size (understandable), but now they love each other and spend hours chasing each other and grooming each other, they really are the oddest couple. Enkei loves nothing more than being sniffed, groomed and occasionally pawed by Maya. What a gentle giant she is! They have definitely found a middle ground. Enkei was only a tiny 8 week old baby when he was introduced to giant Maya, and straight away Maya knew she had to be very delicate with her new dog friend. We trusted Maya completely as we watched their friendship grow and grow. Maya is only 3 years old, and has already been through a lot of ordeal. At only 1.5 years old, she underwent knee replacement surgery and had to spend 20 weeks in a cage prior to and after the operation, this was really hard for such a large active dog such as Maya but she went through it like a trooper and came out the other side a better dog, when her and Enkei were reunited after the 20 weeks it was a fabulous Occassion! They were both so excited, they just couldn't wait to take things where they had left it and start playing again. The two know how to play properly, and between them know the boundaries not to cross so that they don't hurt each other. These two just get crazier and crazier every time that they meet, there isn't a bad bone in either of their bodies. I think Enkei would love for Maya to lie with us at our home, but I really doubt Sanka would approve!!
