Sofia is an exceptionally good, smart, and beautiful girl who is not aware of her own qualities. She had the impression that other children were better, smarter, and prettier than her, so she avoided hanging out with them. She was so ashamed when a child approached her that she couldn't say anything. She would just blush and wish to run away.
Days went by, and she increasingly sat and played games or watched cartoons on TV. Even toys were no longer interesting to her. She just enjoyed sitting and watching entertaining animated movies or passing levels in games.
Her parents were very worried. They knew that it was not good for their daughter to grow up without play and friends, but they didn't know how to help her. Everything they had tried until then had been in vain. They thought long and hard and decided to get a dog. They hoped that a cute little dog would help Sofia have a happy and fulfilling childhood because she loved dogs more than any other animals.
The day Maza arrived in the family would remain in everyone's memory. It is hard to describe in words the joy the girl felt when she saw her dog. She started crying, hugging, and kissing Maza with happiness, then her parents, and jumping...
Sofia and Maza hit it off right away and fell in love. Maza would hop, skip and wag her tail as soon as the girl was around, and Sofia couldn't resist her. They played and entertained themselves all day long, not just in the apartment. Sofia wanted to go outside with Maza by herself.
It was amazing how well they got along and played while they were outside. It didn't matter what they were playing with. Maza learned to bring whatever Sofia threw to her, even if it was just a simple twig, and when a dog came to the park, Maza happily ran up to him and invited him to play. Besides dogs, Maza easily and happily approached unfamiliar people and children, thus drawing attention to herself and Sofia. No one could resist hanging out with such a cheerful and adorable dog.
They were so lively and interesting that even other children approached and played with them, but Sofia was no longer ashamed. She didn't feel the need to run away, but enjoyed socializing with both children and dogs. She was not aware of how many friends she had made in such a short time.
Sofia and Maza loved playing with Nikolina and her dog Toto the most. Spontaneously, Sofia gained her best friend, and Maza gained her best friend. They were practically inseparable. Even bad weather couldn't disturb their time together because they spent days they couldn't play outside together in the apartment.
Maza taught Sofia how to make friends and that she didn't need to be insecure, and Sofia taught Maza new commands, tricks, and skills every day.
They continued to grow up happily with the friends they made.
