as told to my mom,

When Max, a wild and wiry Airedale Terrier, bounded into the lives of his family, they didn’t realize how much he would teach them about courage, gratitude and love. This sweet, poignant dog’s tale follows Max as he and his family deal with issues of abandonment, rescue, friendship, adoption, love, illness, aging and loss. Every dog lover who has been lucky enough to have been led through a portion of life by a faithful four-legged friend, will appreciate the wisdom that comes from living "Life to the Max."
