About Home is Behind
Max is a German Shepherd who fondly recalls his early years as a puppy with the loving Green family. After being adopted from a shelter, Max finds a cozy home full of laughter and adventures with the caring parents and two enthusiastic kids. Despite some typical puppy mischief, Max and the Greens develop a strong bond as he grows from a clumsy pup into a mature dog.
But when a mysterious illness sweeps the country, Max’s peaceful life with the Greens is dramatically disrupted. Now alone in a transformed world, the loyal German Shepherd must draw on his wit and indomitable spirit to navigate an uncertain future and find new purpose.
Throughout an epic journey taking him across desolate, untamed landscapes, Max faces daunting challenges of survival, loneliness and hunger. Yet Max’s determination and devotion endure as he forges new bonds and finds his place in a forever-changed world.

Author Bio:
My name is Ricardo Chicas and I was born under the lush rainforests and stunning coastlines of Costa Rica. Surrounded by the country's incredible biodiversity, I developed a lifelong passion for nature from an early age. This led me to become an avid traveler who loves immersing himself in diverse cultures worldwide. One memorable trip was to the Philippines, where I was moved by the kindness and resilience of the local people in the face of constant natural disasters.
Now at 42, I bring this same empathy and problem-solving attitude to my work. With over 13 years of experience as a database administrator, I have mastered complex systems and honed my leadership abilities while managing international teams.
Outside of work, you can often find me outdoors appreciating nature’s beauty. I also have an endless curiosity to understand the human experience, no matter how difficult. My hope is to transmit both my technical expertise and compassion through my writing, while encouraging others to find the beauty around them even in hard times.
