More: Max was one of the most lovable dogs in the world. We rescued Max when he was 3 months old in 2011. He loved to hike, play fetch and most especially loved to swim/play in water. Max would go back packing and take his own pack. When we got close to a hiking trial he knew it and would start screaming with excitement. Max taught me that getting a big lick from him was the best ever. He loved going see his veterinarian because he knew he was going to get a lot of attention from her. He would scream with excitement when we got close to the office. Best Dog Ever.
