Max the dog has been keeping a hopeful watch at the window ever since his human, Lily, left for college. Each afternoon, when the school bus rolls by, he eagerly anticipates her return, even though she’s off starting her new adventure at the University of Georgia. His routine remains the same—he waits by the window, longing for that familiar face to step off the bus, but sadly, it’s not happening.
Lily, an 18-year-old from Atlanta, Georgia, has spent the last semester away from home. Leaving Max behind was an emotional farewell; she described it as “heartbreaking” since he’s not a fan of goodbyes. “Every time I head out, he gives me this look that says I’m abandoning him,” she shared.
Recently, Lily’s dad snapped a picture of Max gazing out the window as the school bus passed their house. He sent it to her with the message, “Your old bus just went by. Max still thinks you’ll be getting off any minute now.”
Honestly, Lily, can you hurry home to Max already? It’s just too sad! Lily replied, “Aww, Max!” and shared the touching moment on social media, which quickly went viral, melting hearts everywhere. Many commenters suggested she should reconsider her college plans and head back to her furry friend.
But don’t worry! There’s a happy ending in sight. Lily will be returning home for the holiday break, and she’ll soon be reunited with her loyal companion, Max.
