Call me Captain Mav—wave rider extraordinaire. 🏄‍

Maverick the 5 month Golden Retriever taking a ride on the paddle board for the first time. Not only was he named after Top Gun Maverick but also Maverick waves.

I’m a 25 year old Biochemistry PhD student starting in the fall. I love to go to the beach and hiking. Anything adventurous really. I got Maverick while I was doing Cancer Research and for my anxiety. The plan is to service/therapy train him to bring him to hospitals to hopefully bring some joy.
