Dogs are loyal companions, able to put their lives in danger to save humans. Some show remarkable devotion and courage, like Maxx, a retired police dog.
Maxx is a German Shepherd Dog who has been specially trained to help law enforcement search for drugs and explosives, locate missing people or find evidence at a crime scene. Endowed with incredible strength, endurance and intelligence, he is an excellent working dog. For several years, the canine has taken its mission very seriously.
