Max, the Dog of the Day
Name: Max
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA
 
   This is Max. Max was "hangin' around" where I work. Skinny, in very bad health and terribly scared of everyone and everything. The first day I saw him, I talked to him and he wet all over himself but wouldn't let me near him. The next day he was still there. On the third day, I decided that I had to find someone to take him in before he got ran over or just died from neglect. I called my husband and while neither of us wanted a dog, we brought him home with us. The vet advised us that Max was almost five months old, very hungry and a walking parasite farm when we "adopted" him.

    He is now ten months old and weighs approximately 75 pounds. He is a happy boy! He is a very sweet tempered dog, almost never barks and has been such a positive influence on our lives. We think he is mostly German Shepherd and Lab, but we are confident that his past is wonderfully "checkered." Max is an innovative digger and is presently completing a rather intricate canal system in our back yard, but we are having a hard time caring. We think that Max is a shining example of Dog of the Day!
