Based on the paragraphs below, what inference can be made about how Max feels about going to the park?
Max opened his eyes as the first rays of dawn filtered through the curtains. He stretched his legs, his paws extending and toes spreading wide. The familiar sound of birds chirping outside signaled the beginning of another exciting day. Max trotted to the kitchen where his owner, Emily, was already awake, preparing breakfast. Emily greeted him with a warm smile and a scratch behind his ears, his favorite spot.
After breakfast, it was time for their morning walk. Emily clipped on Max’s leash, and they stepped out into the crisp morning air. The park was their destination, a vast green expanse with winding paths and tall, shady trees. Max’s heart raced with anticipation. His nose led him on a zigzag path, sniffing every bush and tree they passed. He couldn’t wait to find some squirrels to chase.
