Maximus Richard Gokey
Max was the true embodiment of a best friend and family companion. We found each other at the Austin Animal Center when he was 1 and a 1/2 and he was on his 3rd stay at the shelter. I told the staff I was looking for a black and brown German shepherd type dog. They said “well, there’s Max” in a drawn out way. As soon as I met him I knew he was ours and we were his forever home and family. Max was smart, loving and loyal. He conquered recovery from several surgeries while we had him and was known to his vet as a miracle after his last major surgery. He lived happily for 3 years after that. Max was with me through the loss of my parents and I think he waited until I was healed before he crossed the rainbow bridge. Forever loved by his forever family.
