It’s difficult for me to try to write something about Max that doesn’t have about a billion words. So, I will instead write a short blurb about him, and then let the pictures say the rest.
Max was the quintessential dog.
He loved his people, he loved to eat, he LOVED to run, and he loved to sleep. He was friendly to everyone he met, and he was very loyal to his family, both two-legged and four-legged. Some people found Max a bit scary looking, but those people were dumb.
We wished away Max’s osteosarcoma every single day he was with us, but are also a bit grateful, in a weird way. If Max hadn’t gotten sick, we never would have met any of the unbelievably wonderful people and dogs through Tripawds.
Now going on 6 years after Max’s passing, we still regularly meet up with several Tripawds members a couple times a year. Max loved them, and so do we.
Thank you, handsome boy, for sharing your life with us, and THANK YOU Tripawds, for being there.
—Diane, Max’s Mom
When you have heartwarming and touching pictures like that, you don’t need very many words…they tell the story beautifully.
And I think Bernie Bin Laden does a magnificent job of channeling Max and some of his delightful craziness!!
We all agree, one of the bizarre “good” things about this gosh forsaken journey is the bond we develop with each other. To shsre this journey with Max’s pack is a true privilege.
I could NEVER tire of hearing about Max and seeing the photos…the magical photos that make him come to life…over and over again!
And if people can’t see Max’s beautiful and enlightened soul through those eyes…yeah…DUMB!!!
Thank you for honoring Magnificent Max by helping Tripawds continue as part of his legacy!
LOVE TO DIANNE, BOB, LINDA ……AND MAXIMUTT!!!!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
All I can say is beautiful.

Diane, I love Max. I have never met him, but I know his spirit. You and John have given him as a gift to us all, and I am thankful that I have been privileged to know him through you.
The best part of this is that you guys know how lucky you were. Some never get it.
Max, if you’re reading then you know how special you are. Thanks for all you were and are.

I thought he was an amazing dog who had an awesome life with people who truly loved him. Your pictures of your time with him are breathtaking because of the backdrop and his wonderful eyes and the love that shows in every one of them. I am sorry for your loss of such a unique guy who had so many great qualities but I don’t think there are many people who are gifted enough to stay ahead of your Bernie Bin Ladin. Max left big shoes to fill.
Awwwww, Max…..
We miss you and your beautiful blue eyes too.
