Riley and Max, the Dog of the Day
Name: Riley and Max
Age: Two, Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Husky Lab mix, Doberman mix
Home: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
 
   These are two boys that have been very good this year as you can tell by the fact that they got to meet Santa!

    Both dogs are rescues and both have become inseparable friends. We decided to get Max when we were volunteering at the SPCA. We were walking dogs there and eventually fell in love with him. Riley was a different situation. I was up north in Labrador when I went to see this new litter of puppies. The owners said that any puppies that were not spoken for were to be drowned the next day. How could I not get a puppy?

    Riley (the husky mix)is sweet and energetic. He loves everyone/dog/animal he comes in contact with. Sometimes he loves them so much that he bowls them over with his excitement.

    Max is more reserved but equally loving. He came to us from the shelter and destroyed any preconceived notions we had about Dobermans being a vicious breed. He's so sweet he's never barked at a soul.

    These two boys live with us and our Kitty. They both know oodles of tricks and have been to three training classes each. They can high five weave around my legs close doors as well as sit down and all the standards. Next summer we tackle agility! They have made us so happy by being so loveable. They're both so great and I can't wait to see what Santa will bring them this year! Merry Christmas!
