Daily life of Biscuit and Max

Volume 1

"So you're saying I have to endure the vet visits to keep the family happy?"

"Precisely," Max said with a sage nod. "Your suffering is noble. Heroic, even."

"Biscuit! Time to go, boy!" Dad called.

"Just think," Max added, "Dr. Sarah probably has all sorts of new and innovative places to stick that thermometer!"

Biscuit groaned. "You're enjoying this far too much."

"Of course I am," Max admitted without shame.

"At least you're not going today," Biscuit pointed out.

Max's expression turned smug again. "True. I'll be here napping in the sunbeam, thinking of you with the deepest sympathy—between dreams, of course.

The kid appeared. "Come on, buddy! Dr. Sarah can't wait to see you!"

As Biscuit was gently led toward the door, he glanced back at Max. "If I don't make it back, tell Duke I tried to be as brave as him."

Max rolled his eyes. "You'll be back in an hour with a treat in your stomach and one of those ridiculous 'Good Boy' bandanas around your neck."

About the Book

Welcome to the world of Biscuit and Max, an unlikely pair of four-legged philosophers who share a home, a family, and a unique perspective on the human experience. Biscuit, the fluffy white dog with wisdom beyond his years, and Max, the cat who believes he's a dog, invite you into their thoughtful conversations and heartwarming adventures.

These stories explore the special bond between pets and their humans through the eyes of our animal protagonists. From contemplating the purpose of rain on a dreary afternoon to debating the merits of their favorite toys, Biscuit and Max offer insights into loyalty, friendship, and finding joy in life's simple pleasures.

You'll meet the family they love—Dad, Mom, and the kid who anchors their world—along with memories of Duke, the wise old dog whose legacy lives on in Biscuit's gentle guidance. Through their observations of everyday moments and occasional philosophical musings, these stories reveal the profound connections that exist between all living beings.

Whether you're a dog person, a cat person, or simply someone who appreciates the quiet wisdom animals bring to our lives, these tales offer a chance to see the world from a fresh perspective—from about two feet off the ground. Curl up in your favorite spot, perhaps with your own four-legged friend nearby, and enjoy these glimpses into the rich inner lives of creatures who observe us with love, curiosity, and occasional amusement.

After all, sometimes the greatest insights come from those who speak without words.

About the Author

Orlando Betancourth

Even before earning my degree, I was knee-deep in tech—helping individuals and businesses turn ideas into working solutions. My career has taken me through medical data systems, pharmaceutical logistics, academic platforms, and blockchain development. From implementing transcription and reporting tools to modernizing Point of Sale systems and building university web platforms, I’ve always enjoyed solving real problems with smart, adaptable code.

Alongside my professional path, I’ve cultivated a passion for writing. I author programming-oriented books aimed at helping university students bridge theory with practical application—always keeping the content clear, relevant, and approachable. On the lighter side, I indulge in crafting small fictional stories, inspired by the comical lives of the two hilariously expressive pets I live with. These tales are simple, observational sketches where animals are given human thoughts, personalities, and quirks.

Whether it’s guiding a student through their first lines of code or giving a voice to a philosophizing house cat, I’m happiest when I’m building something that connects, teaches, or simply entertains.
