Max
Breed: Jack Russell
Barking from: St Leonards, NSW
What's up dog?
Max is the light of our workplace, it is not the same when he is not there. He can never fail to put a smile on anyone's face. He has a cheeky character that is both loving and one of loyalty. Once is he back from his routine walk and play with his other friend doggies, that's when the day begins. He is off to work leading and protecting our work space and showroom. Greeting everyone who walks past or in. We often spot people taking photos of him from outside the glass windows or purely wanting to come in to pat him. He knows how to make those sales. Thinking of Max right now as he is not near, his unique hop when he walks or is happy always brings pure joy to my heart.
