Minnie and Maxie epitomize extreme anthropomorphism. They are a married couple, though Maxie is prone to wander if the scent is too strong…. This image was captured while they were on holiday to celebrate their third wedding anniversary at Cocoa Beach, Florida in 1979. They subsequently spent their senior years at the Golden Dreams Elderly Care Facility until they passed away in 1985 and 1987 respectively.
