Meet Maverick, a dog with a huge heart who enjoys making friends with people and other animals.
The Dodo quotes Lilly Ann Flores, Maverick’s owner, as saying, “He is a wonderfully sweet and loving dog.”
Maverick, however, doesn’t take any chances when it comes to Halloween figurines.
Maverick recently visited his family in Texas when he unintentionally saw some unsettling new visitors outside—a spooky (almost) gathering of cardboard cutout cats.
It turned out that Flores had made the decision to place the cats there as Halloween decorations the previous evening. Of course, it wasn’t meant to be very frightful, but Maverick didn’t seem to get the memo.
Maverick froze like a statue when he saw the cutout cats:

He was stuck in place as I turned around, Flores recalled. “I burst out laughing. He’s never done that before, I believe.
Maverick seems to be “pointing,” a behavior some puppies exhibit when trying to alert their owners to something of interest, however, it’s impossible to know for sure what was going through his mind at the time.
In other words, Maverick was probably simply trying to let his family know about the strange cat scenario outside.
Fortunately, there was no serious danger from the cardboard cutouts. Just the Halloween season, that’s all.
Flores remarked, “I think [the cats] just caught him off guard.”
Whatever the case, Maverick’s family continues to have his back when it comes to frightful things, whether they be real or imagined.
