We took Max for a stroll in the Watershed Park. He perked up as we approached the park, which I kind of figured he would. We have a harness for strapping him into the car, and it worked like a charm to help support him. I just kept some tension on the harness and let him walk at his own pace.
As soon as we opened the door, he was up and eager to get out and go! We took him as far as he felt like. When he felt like turning around, I let him. It’s wasn’t a huge walk, but hey, he got out and saw that he could do it. So that’s all positive.
Pam took a movie, and I’ve stuck it on the end of this message. You can see that awkward foot, but we’re going to keep at it. I’m hopeful he’ll keep coming along.

Max is lucky to have you guys…..Not everyone would have persisted and tried to give him a second chance…..He’s a lucky boy…Cathy
So pleased to see how well Max is coming along. You two are Awesome Doggy parents. He is such a lucky fellow to have you.
Congratulations to you too for your dedication and diligence to give this fine creature a second chance. Watching the video did my heart good. I wish mum could see it…..good boy Max
We are so happy that Max is going walking!! We went walking around Emerald Lake this afternoon.
We got home safely. We saw the pink salmon trying to get through Hell’s Gate, very moving…
Wow what an amazing video, he is doing so much better than I had pictured. That is great you put it up. After seeing this I have no doubt at all he will function just fine. He looks happy to be doing something normal. He knows he has you guys in his corner like I said before so full recovery here we come Max.
