Lya & Max – A Love Tail for the Ages 🐾

Meet Lya and Max — a bonded pair of dachshunds who prove that true love comes on four paws.

At 9 and 10 years old, this little bride and groom live a life full of belly rubs, squeaky toys, and devotion. Lya, the elegant and food-loving queen, doesn’t let anyone near her bowl — and she means it. Max, her playful and clever prince, has a special trick: he tosses his toy dolphin into the pool and somehow retrieves it without getting wet. Talent? We think so.

But Max is more than just charming — he’s a warrior. A proud IVDD survivor, he bounced back with bravery, supported every step of the way by Lya, his loyal partner and now… wife. Yes, you heard that right: Lya and Max got married in a funny yet heartwarming doggie wedding that melted everyone’s hearts.

Together, they are soulmates in miniature — shy, sweet, strong, and silly. Their love story reminds us that family isn’t just something you’re born into — sometimes, it’s the pup you play with, protect, and cuddle next to every night.
