In Willow Creek, a retired K9 named Max showed he was still a hero. Once Officer Daniels’ partner, Max had become part of the family, especially close to Daniels’ 8-year-old son, Alex.
One night, Max wouldn’t rest. He paced and scratched at Alex’s bed until Daniels sensed something was wrong. Trusting him, the family rushed Alex to the hospital—where doctors found a hidden tumor pressing against his spine. Surgery caught it just in time, saving him from paralysis.
Today, Max is celebrated in town, but to the Daniels family, he’s more than a legend—he’s the dog who saved their son’s life.
