What's up dog?

Maxi has given me my whole life back, before Max I had lost all independence, I couldnt go out on my own or be left on my own at a risk of me fainting and hurting myself, it was suggested that I get an assistance dog and then along came Max and my whole life changed. From day one he knew he had a job to do and we knew we were meant for each other, he started to naturally alert to my fast heart rate. We started training involving my scent from a very young age and he picked up very quickly. He now tells me when my heart rate is high, my BP is high, my sugars are low and helps me to prevent fainting by letting me know before Im symptomatic. He does a lot more for me also. All he does for me has given me so much independence I can now drive, be left alone and go out by myself, I feel much more like myself again and its all thanks to Maxi, hes saved my life so many times he truly is my hero and the definition of a dog with a job. He is one very special boyMax has made a huge positive impact on everyone around me. Hes given everybody their life back, before Max dad worked full time and mum
Was my full time carer so as much as hes given me my life back hes also given mum her life back. Hes also
Bought joy and laughter back into the house with his quirky and joyful personality. Hes also has opened my world to the world of dog sports
