Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever

Max is a sweet, playful dog who constantly demonstrates affection for his people. In addition to his craving for human attention, his trademark features include big floppy ears, super-soft fur, and delightful star quality. For years, he loved to play fetch and catch balls in the air (stubbornly refusing to stop playing), found a way to grab whatever tissue or napkin was lying around, and insisted on being the center of all social activity in his house. Now thirteen, Max has calmed down a great deal, but you can still catch him sleeping upside-down with his legs splayed out or running nose-first into a carpet and then rolling around snorting in order to say hello to a room. Our older Lab, Huntley, passed away very recently, and we miss seeing Max licking her ears and finishing her water. Although he sleeps more nowadays and we avoid encouraging physical activity since he tends to get huffy and out of breath, our boy Max is still a thrill, with his genuine adoration for family members and comfy beds. It's impossible to leave a room without Max following you; it's almost equally impossible to type on a laptop without finding a soft, wrinkly head squeezing its way underneath your wrist.

Many hugs and kisses to you Max. Stay healthy!

not a bad way to spend retirement :) I am sure Max is VERY happy!

Oh Max you are just so beautiful. I hope my boy grows into such a handsome man too!

So here they both are. Max is certainly a beautiful boy. I'm sure he's just doing his best to help you type with that nudge. It has nothing to do with asking for a pet. Certainly not. Give him a big hug for me, please.

Well?? Aren't you going to kick it?

Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. Puppies are always cute, but a senior ( especially 13) is extra special. Lots of hugs, kisses and snuggles to you Max!

Labs really are the best! My boy does the same thing. Follows me from room to room, and lays his head on my laptop when the computer is clearly getting more attention than he is. Max looks like such a sweetheart. I just want to hug him all day!

Max, wow...you are such a beautiful dog! I agree with "jenkins5" - labs are the best! (Huntley was a gorgeous fellow, too!)

I love your face Max!!

I just love Max... I bet he's a great cuddler.

Hi Max! You are certainly still very handsome at age 13. I love this picture--it looks like you are peering very intently at something you can't quite see. Maybe you forgot your glasses that day? Don't worry, it happens to the best of us! I hope you have many more happy and healthy years ahead of you!

Nothing in the world is sweeter than a old Lab.They still think they are puppies ready to play but they also have a calm wisdom that is beyond description.Hugs to your handsome man.

One of the most beautiful seniors I've ever seen. He's an angel. Live long and healthy Max.

Max thanks you for the kind comments. Though he's recently without the loss of canine companion, he follows my mum around the house religiously. I do believe he was a person in a former life. If you lie down on the ground beside him, he'll put his arm (paw) around you, too. Just before of his breath...

Max looks as sweet and lovable has he sounds, what a handsome boy he is.

Apr 15, 2008 Doggieluver16

Max is a great dog! Even though he is 13, he looks like he is 5!!!!!! I am soooo sorry about Huntley. My Weimaraner passed away last October and we were devasted.

We are very sad to report that Max died on Thursday, August 21st. He was a wonderful dog, a lifelong puppy, an adorable boy, and a great companion. We'll miss his sincere eyes, floppy ears, soft fur, hearty bark, and sweet personality. He was one of a kind -- and we know he loved being a star on DailyPuppy! WOOF, Max's family. Max: 01/16/95 - 08/21/08.
