En un refugio de la ciudad llamado Patas y pelos vivía Max, un precioso perro que llevaba allí desde pequeño, su madre había muerto y los dueños decidieron abandonarlo en la carretera, para Max era muy difícil saber que había sido un perro abandonado, esto le bajaba mucho la autoestima, pero, sin embargo, siempre se mostraba cariñoso y alegre.
In a shelter in the city called Patas y pelos lived Max, a beautiful dog who had been there since he was a little boy, his mother had died and the owners decided to abandon him on the road, it was very difficult for Max to know that he had been an abandoned dog, this lowered his self-esteem a lot, but, nevertheless, he was always affectionate and cheerful.
Con el tiempo Max se hizo amigo de varios perros del refugio, pero de todos ellos su mejor amigo fue Rocko, su madre había muerto en peleas callejeras y aunque Rocko apenas era un cachorro iba por el mismo camino, entonces las personas del refugio decidieron recatarlo.
Max y Rocko se hicieron grandes amigos, su amistad era tan grande que todo lo hacían juntos, realmente era una amistad preciosa y no se querían separar por nada del mundo.
Un día, en una conversación que tuvieron ambos, se prometieron lealtad y amistad hasta la muerte, incluso llegaron a la conclusión de que no iban a aceptar ser adoptados si no los adoptaban juntos.
Pasaron los días y la amistad entre estos dos perros creció, pero de repente una familia adinerada se interesó por Rocko, y él, en vez de estar contento, se puso muy triste porque no quería irse con ninguna familia si no era en compañía de su gran amigo.
Los responsables del refugio fueron a buscarlo, pero él se negó rotundamente a salir, ante la insistencia de estas personas Rocko hizo algo que nunca había hecho, morder a un humano, la familia que lo quería adoptar automáticamente determinó que Rocko era un perro agresivo y no se lo llevaron.
Over time Max made friends with several dogs at the shelter, but of all of them his best friend was Rocko, his mother had died in street fights and although Rocko was just a puppy he was going down the same path, so the people at the shelter decided to take him in.
Max and Rocko became great friends, their friendship was so great that they did everything together, it really was a beautiful friendship and they didn't want to separate for anything in the world.
One day, in a conversation they both had, they promised each other loyalty and friendship until death, they even came to the conclusion that they were not going to accept being adopted if they were not adopted together.
Days went by and the friendship between these two dogs grew, but suddenly a wealthy family became interested in Rocko, and he, instead of being happy, became very sad because he didn't want to go with any family if it wasn't in the company of his great friend.
The people in charge of the shelter went to look for him, but he flatly refused to leave, at the insistence of these people Rocko did something he had never done before, bite a human, the family that wanted to adopt him automatically determined that Rocko was an aggressive dog and they did not take him.
Como no querían irse con las manos vacías, decidieron adoptar otro perro, pero más cariñoso y pequeño, así que eligieron a Max.
Rocko esperaba que Max actuara como él lo hizo, rechazando la adopción, pero para su sorpresa Max fue más amable y cariñoso que nunca y la familia lo adoptó.
Rocko fue encerrado aparte por su comportamiento agresivo y Max se fue feliz con su nueva familia, sin pensar en su amigo y en el sacrificio que había hecho.
Rocko se sintió desmoralizado, traicionado, su gran amigo no cumplió su promesa. Con el tiempo entró en depresión, porque le costaba aceptar lo sucedido, los cuidadores se dieron cuenta de lo que estaba pasando, así que decidieron darle más cariño que nunca a Rocko, y así poco a poco iría curando las heridas.
Con el paso de los años, Rocko fue adoptado por una familia que lo quería, él ya había superado lo ocurrido con Max, en su corazón lo olvidó y lo perdonó, incluso intentó comprenderlo y poco a poco fue recuperando su felicidad.
En cuanto a Max, el sentimiento de culpa lo consumía todos los días de su vida, no se perdonaba lo que le había hecho a Rocko y se convirtió en un perro infeliz y desdichado.
Todos los días en su mente le pedía perdón a su amigo por la traición que le había hecho, pero no hacía lo más importante, que era perdonarse a sí mismo.
Not wanting to leave empty-handed, they decided to adopt another dog, but more affectionate and smaller, so they chose Max.
Rocko expected Max to act as he did, refusing the adoption, but to his surprise Max was kinder and more affectionate than ever and the family adopted him.
Rocko was locked up separately for his aggressive behaviour and Max left happily with his new family, not thinking about his friend and the sacrifice he had made.
Rocko felt demoralised, betrayed, his great friend did not keep his promise. Over time he became depressed, because it was hard for him to accept what had happened, the caregivers realised what was happening, so they decided to give Rocko more affection than ever, and so little by little he would heal his wounds.
As the years went by, Rocko was adopted by a family that loved him, he had already overcome what had happened with Max, in his heart he forgot and forgave him, he even tried to understand him and little by little he recovered his happiness.
As for Max, the feeling of guilt consumed him every day of his life, he did not forgive himself for what he had done to Rocko and he became an unhappy and unhappy dog.
Every day in his mind he asked his friend for forgiveness for the betrayal he had done to him, but he did not do the most important thing, which was to forgive himself.
Tiempo después Max se escapó de casa, su sentimiento de culpa era tan grande que pensaba que no merecía un hogar, su objetivo era volver al refugio para buscar a Rocko, lo demás no le importaba, solo quería pedirle perdón a su amigo.
Después de varios días vagando por la calle, la gente del refugio lo recogió, Max estaba feliz, pensaba que iba a ver a su amigo Rocko, pero cuando llegó al refugio él ya no estaba, Max sintió que se moría por dentro, y su tristeza volvió.
La gente del refugio llamó a los dueños de Max, que llegaron rápidamente a recoger a su perro. Max no sabía qué le había pasado a Rocko, tal vez lo habían adoptado o tal vez había muerto por la traición que él le jugó.
Con el tiempo Max comprendió que tenía que perdonarse por lo que había hecho y seguir adelante, quizás más nunca vería a su amigo Rocko y posiblemente nunca sabría qué paso con él, pero no podía condenar el resto su vida a una acción que había cometido en el pasado. Entonces Max empezó a soltar aquel sentimiento de culpa y poco a poco comenzó a ser feliz de nuevo.
Años más tarde el refugio organizo una reunión y volvieron a ver a todos los perros que habían regalado, Max y Rocko se volvieron a ver, y aunque Max estaba avergonzado, Rocko estaba muy feliz de volver a verlo, Rocko ya era un perro viejo y tenía una familia e incluso tenía hijos, y lo que había pasado con Max solo había sido para él travesuras de niño, así que Max se dio cuenta de que Rocko no le guardaba rencor y que lo había perdonado hacía mucho tiempo, así que se sintió feliz y aliviado porque él también ya se había perdonado.
Some time later Max ran away from home, his feeling of guilt was so great that he thought he didn't deserve a home, his goal was to go back to the shelter to look for Rocko, he didn't care about the rest, he just wanted to apologise to his friend.
After several days wandering the streets, the people at the shelter picked him up, Max was happy, he thought he was going to see his friend Rocko, but when he arrived at the shelter he was gone, Max felt like he was dying inside, and his sadness returned.
The people at the shelter called Max's owners, who arrived quickly to pick up their dog. Max didn't know what had happened to Rocko, maybe he had been adopted or maybe he had died because of the betrayal he had played on him.
In time Max realised that he had to forgive himself for what he had done and move on, maybe he would never see his friend Rocko again and maybe he would never know what happened to him, but he couldn't condemn the rest of his life to an action he had committed in the past. So Max began to let go of that feeling of guilt and little by little he began to be happy again.
Years later the shelter organised a reunion and they saw again all the dogs they had given away, Max and Rocko saw each other again, and although Max was ashamed, Rocko was very happy to see him again, Rocko was already an old dog and had a family and even had children, and what had happened with Max had only been for him childish pranks, so Max realised that Rocko did not hold a grudge and had forgiven him a long time ago, so he felt happy and relieved because he had also forgiven himself.
