Owner reports Max lived with another dog and is playful with other dogs and that he knows the cues sit, stop, and come. Max displayed a loose body and an open mouth upon intake, allowing all handling. On his relief walk, Max pulled very hard on leash. Once in the assessment room, he was wiggly and social.
