Maverick Bruene, a magnificent, handsome, goofy, and loving English Springer Spaniel, passed away on July 3, right before Independence Day.   He was an athletic dog who enjoyed going on long  runs with his family.  He was, in equal measure, a cuddly dog who loved to snuggle with  Linda.  He was a long-time member of Power Paws and enriched the lives of so many young readers and nursing home residents.  He was preceded in death by fellow spaniels, Shamus, Sailor, and Ivy, and two cats, Cecil and Ashley.    He is survived by John, Linda, Adam, Julie, Jake, and  his life-long companion, Fiona.  His kind, gentle, and joyful spirit will live forever  in his family's hearts.  Farewell, dear Maverick, and enjoy running like the wind  in heaven.
