Sowmya says Max is an amazing guard dog but loves people at the same time, adding that "He knows the difference between people we know and people we don't know. He's a friendly giant I would say. Despite being a German Shepherd, he is too friendly with people! He's a part of our family! He is the best brother and best friend I could ever ask for!"
