RPD Max

What are some of the highlights of Max’s career?

“Max had a relatively short career so didn’t get as many jobs under his belt as he’d have liked. But one job that always makes me chuckle is when we were called to a report of armed intruders inside an empty building, and as I issued the challenge he was so vocal that the sound of him alone made the intruders decide it wasn’t worth it and they gave themselves up!”

What does retirement look like for Max?

“Max loves laying in front of the fire and insists on cuddles from anyone who comes into the house after bringing them his squeaky dinosaur! He wasn’t quite ready to retire when he did though so when he comes into work with me he enjoys a short track or search to keep his brain ticking over. He loves going on exciting walks to new places, chasing his frisbee, and swimming.”

What’s your favourite memory with Max since he retired?

“There are so many favourite memories since his retirement that it’s hard to choose one. He loves being out and about on Bodmin Moor and adores chasing his floating toy in the water.”

Tell us a funny story about Max…

“Max was banned from the local kennels after deciding the accommodation wasn’t up to scratch for him and making a bid for freedom! He chewed through the outside run, climbed up an 8ft bank, and the owner heard a thud and caught him trying to jump the 6ft fence into the car park. Thankfully his escape attempt failed and when I left early to collect him, they said that he was a lovely dog but couldn’t stay with them anymore…!”
