K9 MAX - My Assistance Dog Journey So Far

09/03/2024

Woop Woop!!! I’m 11 Years old today!!! It’s been a FANTASTIC journey with girly and family and I can’t wait to see all the wonderful presents girly and mummy have gotten me. I heard Falon even got me something too!!

My journey began as a small but really fluffy puppy. Girly told me I’m still the cutest puppy she has seen (haha take that scruffy Kamaru) and I quickly learned so much in terms of obedience and house manners and even got told off by the cat Bluey a few times🤣

When I was 5, Girly begin training me for assistance dog work. Her autism made it hard for her to go out as it would cause her a large amount of social anxiety. I think this stemmed from all the bullying she went through as a kid and never found anyone to call a friend other than one girl called Beanie when she was about 9 or 10. She has a few friends now as an adult but she still struggles.

I can’t lie, it’s been an interesting 11 years with a few trips to Devon and Cornwall and a nice holiday with girly recently. It’s good to be back home with mummy and daddy and Silly Falon but it would be even better if Girly came to visit more.

I worked really well on this day last week at the Broadwalk Centre with girly and her partner. She had an anxiety attack because an evil woman told her I was dirty and to get me out the centre. David stood up for both of us whilst I laid on girly to calm her down. I got a big yummy PupCup from David after and then girly got me one too!!

Thank you girly for letting me see my girlfriend Kunai today. I can’t wait to see you again and I can’t wait to spend our first night on my big fluffy cosy bed together. (It’s girly’s bed but she has the dog bed so all good) ❤️

Mum took me to see my brother from another mother today. This is my big BIG brother Olympic Phantom. All 17 hands of him. He can be a derp at times and will never be as well trained as me but he knows when girly gets upset or when she is feeling vulnerable so on those days he’s as good as me but he’ll never be better than me because I am No.1 🤣

I LOVE my Wuffable vest ❤️❤️ Mum had the chest a bit short at first but it’s a great fit and super comfy!!!

Helped girly go shopping at Lidl and Selby’s with her mum yesterday. There was a man in a charity shop who walked in with his dog and it stepped towards us so girly freaked out but her mum calmed her down and then the selfish man and his dog went to the bit of the shop we were walking to so girly’s mum got very annoyed and we walked out. Girly’s mum says it wasn’t worth the hassle and she’s right. Even though I could have eaten the little doggo as a snack, I am very fussy with my food and that horrid little dog was certainly not going anywhere near me. I was a very good boy and ignored the little terrier to focus on keeping girly calm and relaxed. I really help girly have a much better shopping experience with her family as she doesn’t get as frustrated or anxious when I am there ❤️
We are a team forever

I’m max and this is my story of how I became an Assistance Dog.

Each picture tells a different part of my life and upbringing. I’m glad that girly and me have grown up to understand each other so well even if she had some major issues when she was younger and not in control.
