Max, the Dog That Refused to Die

I read this book because my friend recommened it. Dobermans are my favorite breed of dogs, so enjoyed reading it. It's about a Dobie (Doberman Pinscher) named Max who wanders away from his owners while on vacation in the Sierras. He was chasing a squirrel when he fell from a cliff. His owners call and search for him, but give up. They finally end up believing that he is dead, and return home.Meanwhile, Max is trying to survive. Will he survive? Or wil he finally die of hunger and dehydration? You have to read to find out. This book is a real tearjerker and made me cry in several parts.I recommend it to anyone, especially for those who have a dog.

This is a great book. My dog is a doberman and she's named Max so when I found this book I quickly bought it. My dog is dying of cancer and it's a good insparation.

I read this book as a child and have never forgotten the terrible odds Max overcame after being lost and injured in the wild while on holiday with his family. His triumphs inspires persistance while teaching about loyalty. I think it was based on a true story, but it's been a few years since I read this amazing book.

I read this book as a little girl. I'll never forget how Max survived being hurt in the wild and fought everyday to get back to his family. This is a story of loyalty, love, and overcoming hardship. Since my older sister was in 4th grade back in the 80's, Mrs. Davis has read this book to the class every year.
