Introduction to Animals I

This is Max.

Max has been with us since November 2007 when we had him from a gentleman in the local village of Badsey who felt he could no longer adequately look after him following the untimely death of his wife.
He has been a fantastic family dog since and we love him dearly. He was originally a rescue dog, and is now about 10 years old. We don't know his background, but he's clearly cut out to be an omega animal as he can even get bullied by our sheep and ducks. Pretty useless as a farm dog in many ways, though he will chase off a fox (from a distance), but he's a fabulous guard dog and barks a welcome to many a guest.
Loves: walks (obviously, but this is the big one), the kids, catching balls (which he is very good at), running back and forth outside the pig paddock and pretending to get upset by them.
Hates: fireworks, shotguns, anyone getting angry.
Oh, he does really love attention from invited guests as well.
