A 4-year-old Maltese named Hawaii was adopted by her parents when she was 4 months old and has been a constant companion since then. The dog is known for its playful nature and willingness to jump into the bed and snuggle with her family every day. Despite her size, she has a tendency to bark at larger dogs but becomes quiet when they come closer. Additionally, she recognizes her own voice on FaceTime, which is both adorable and heartbreaking. The author of this article discusses the adoption of Hawaii and the adoption process.
