Marilyn Monroe and Maf

Marilyn Monroe's Maltese terrier Maf was a gift from Frank Sinatra and became a constant companion to the famous actress. A sweet anecdote was when Monroe was feeling isolated after a difficult breakup and Maf was especially close to her. He would stay near her, sensing her sadness, and comfort her during those low moments. It was said that whenever Monroe was upset, Maf would instinctively nudge her or curl up next to her, offering a kind of silent support.
