My boyfriend and I are college students attending Michigan Technological University, studying to become engineers. We had been talking about getting a dog for over a year, but didn't think it was practical at the time. We had argued about what kind of dog we would get - I wanted a big dog that I could run with, while he wanted a small lap dog. One day before exams I was de-stressing and looking at baby animal pictures. I came across a picture of a husky puppy and we both looked at it and said "I want it". The next weekend we were headed to a concert in Wisconsin - it just so happened to be very close to where Max Haven Kennels was located. We took a small detour and looked at the beautiful Siberians that the kennel currently had, and we fell in love with the puppy from the photo online. We took him home that very same weekend. He has been a blessing and a joy to have around the house. It's great to take a study break to play with him or take him for a walk.
