I don’t have it in me to be witty or creative right now, so I’ll cut to the chase:
Max is gone.
Earlier tonight, I thought it odd that he wasn’t glued to my side as he usually is, so I began checking the cars to make sure he hadn’t stowed away; no luck. After checking the house, I looked out the back door and saw a pile of brown fur out in the back yard; it was Max, alive, but just barely. I won’t go into detail, but it was as bad as I’ve ever seen. Mom had seen the neighbor’s farm dogs, two Pyrenees and a collie, in the yard earlier, and we’re 99% sure that they’re responsible.
The owner lives down a gated road, and either ignored me beating the crap out of his gate or wasn’t home. We called the sheriff who came out to file a report and inspect the body, but what could he really do? I had no choice but to bury Max under by the light of the full moon.
Max was my dog, my only dog, for a long time until Charlie came along. I would be doing him a massive injustice to even attempt to eulogies him, as no words can do him justice.
There are two holes involved here, one in the back yard, and one in my heart;
RIP, Max; you surely deserved better.
I’m so very sorry. Blessings to you.
so sorry!
I’m sorry…..
Omg. Poor Max. I’m so sorry Bret. RIP buddy
My heart is breaking for you.
I’m so very sorry.

Aww…man! Rest in peace Max.
So very sorry.
Ohhhhh, Noo, I am so, so sorry, this breaks my heart for you. Max will miss you as much as you miss him, but you will see each other, once again when the time comes & you’re ready to call his name again, as he chases elusive butterflies! ❤️❤️❤️

You did him justice with the few words said and actions you’ve done, any animal lover knows and respects you for that.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It breaks my heart. When are people going to keep their dogs under control?

I am so terribly sorry!
A second thought Max will be met by all the dogs and puppies he has helped to know life and love they will be there to thank him
OMG!! What a terrible thing to happen to Max. I am so terribly sorry. I know the pain you feel. We had to put our beloved cat, Charlie, Dow last March; found out he had intestinal lymphoma, the end of renal failure, and anemia. He was my husband’s cat and we have been together 16 years and I have never heard my husband wail and cry after Charlie was put down. The loss you feel for Max – is a deep and painful one. KNOW that he loved you.
Oh my. I cannot imagine how you feel. I’m crying. I am so sorry.
Bret Winingar I’m so sorry, He died defending the casa.
I am so sorry!
Many sympathies.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain all too well. Praying for you.
Godspeed Max. Praying for your family. I am so very sorry.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
One of my favorite pics that I saved, glad I did, they are together now as they were then. Hope your heart can take some comfort knowing this!
Such a beautiful yet sad picture, Mikki. Stevie and Max together 🙁 <3
I know, it breaks my heart when these beautiful babies die, I didn’t get over Stevie going and now Max. I can’t imagine what the cassa is feeling now. I can’t believe the owner of the other dogs wouldn’t talk to them. Maybe they are scared and don’t know what to do. I’m hoping that’s the case.
This perfect is just so precious. And I know and believe they have been reunited!
Max is buried next to Stevie
What a wonderful picture! ❤️
So sorry to hear this. I am at a loss for words.
Friends again ❤
There are no words….
Terrible thing to have to go thru. My heart hurts for you, but glad he’s with Stevie now.
So sorry for your loss..
Omg I am so sorry sending you prayers from Maine

So sorry about Max. It breaks my heart! He went across the rainbow bridge knowing you gave him the best home, and he was so loved!

So sorry for your loss. We lost 2 of our dogs last year. One we had to put down and the other was run over accidently. We miss them very much.

So very sorry!
Oh no! I’m so very sorry. He was such a personable little fellow. RIP Max.
I am so sorry it hurts
Bret, I grieve so, for you and your family. No words can take that excruciating pain away. Such a terrible loss.
this breaks my heart, I am so sorry this happened. 🙁
I am so sorry for your loss. We have also rescued so many dogs and cats… I can’t believe our human race… People are terrible… 🙁
Gentle thoughts go to you and yours. Max – I’m sure mine who have passed before you will be waiting to show you around the endless pastures and sunshine beyond the rainbow bridge.
So sorry for your loss.
So so sorry
Omgoodness I am so very sorry for your loss I have no words to express my anger over this
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you.
I have no words other than I am so very, very sorry for your loss.
I cannot imagine the depth of your grief. Poor little boy taken in such horrific circumstances. I am so very sorry for your loss. R.I.P. Max
My heart is broken right along with yours and all of us who have fallen so in love with you all. I don’t have any words even close to being right. There just aren’t any. Can’t see past my tears to write any more anyway.
Prayers for your family and may Max wait for you at the Rainbow Bridge
I’m so so sorry!! My heart breaks for you. RIP sweet max!
Oh how tragic . My heart breaks for your family and sweet Max.
so sorry..so so sorry
Our sincerest condolences. In many ways I believe this is harder than the loss of a human family member or at least I have found it to be that way. I do hope you are able to identify the culprits and go some way to ensuring there is no repetition.
I don’t even know what to say right now. I can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling, the anger at the neighbor’s lack of care. Max deserved a long life with you, not this end. He wasn’t alone and he was well loved, but that is small comfort at the moment. We don’t need you to be witty, we’re crying along with you and wish we could take away your pain. I’m just so damn sorry. <3
Heartbreaking! You were well loved Max!
Oh Bret. My heart just hurts for you right now. This just sucks. Just big time sucks. I have no words I would use in public other than that one. I’m so so sorry. There is nothing to make this better or easier, but know that I am actively praying for peace and comfort for everyone there at the Casa.
I’m so sorry for Max and all of you.
I am so sorry for your loss, he was quite the little guy…so not right 🙁
Oh I am so sorry. What a horrible thing to happen. Max you sweet little guy run free little angel
I am so so sorry! My heart is hurting for you and mom. For Charlie and Bul. And mostly for Max. Why? Why? Why? Oh my God, I am so sorry.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your special boy. Hope you are comforted by the memories you and Max shared.
Bret, my heart is breaking for you and the tears are flowing. I’m just so incredibly sorry. And I’m even more saddened at the unimaginable cruel way that Max had to be taken away from you all. Watch over the Casa sweet Max, you will all see each other again. All dogs go to heaven❤
How awful! So sorry about your baby Max ❤
OMG!! I’m so sorry! I can’t believe it. I love that sweet, scruffy face. He will be missed by all of us and we all know what it’s like to lose a four-legged child. My heart breaks with yours.
So Sorry for Your Loss, Very sad that happens from a irresponsible neighbor and their dogs..May MAX Rest In Peace …
So sorry. Heartbreaking.
I’m so very sorry. Max is your fur baby guardian angel now…no worda can describe the sadness i feel for you
you WILL see him again, tail wagging
Oh no, so very sorry.
The hardest thing is the anger and injustice of it, along with the grief. … I hope that you can find your peace with this soon. Be careful out there and not too distracted.
I’m so, so sorry for your loss. A terrible way to loose your beloved companion. I hope justice is served for him. :'(
Heart breaks. So sorry.
I am so very sorry.

I am so sorry. He was beautiful person. This was not right how he died. But at least you were there. He was a brave warrior; you can see it in his beautiful eyes. Thank you for being his human.
Pyrenees can be VERY brutal and VERY packish… Lots of folks use them who fight gamecocks…
I’m SO very sorry.
RIP sweet Max.
I’m so sorry. Words cannot convey how heartbreaking it is to lose a fur baby. Prayers.
So sorry, poor Max. We had a Max that left us suddenly too. <3

My heart is breaking for you…
I can’t even imagine how you are feeling. My stomach is in knots. I’m so sorry for you, your family, and poor Max. You are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Fur Baby. Heartbreak doesn’t even begin to describe the pain.
I’m so very sorry. I don’t have the right words to “make it better” & I can’t imagine the heartbreak of finding your Max hurt & suffering. But as a longtime follower of Charlie & the other “kids” I’m so sad to hear this. Just know that you are all in the thoughts & prayers of so many tonight & we are mourning with you.
Oh that is gutting 🙁 my heart goes out to you, kia kaha ( stand strong) RIP Max
I am so sorry, what a horrible thing to happen.
My heart is broken for you. I’m so sorry. You’re in my prayers.

No words Bret… hope you carry the good memories and thoughts forward.
I am so, so sorry!!! I am still grieving the loss of my old girl from December. It’s an awful pain. But the thought of poor little Max going like that breaks my heart. There just are no words for comfort at a time such as this. I will be praying for y’all 🙁
I am so sorry to hear about Max…he’ll be waiting for you when you get to the other side along with all the other dogs you have loved…

Oh, my! I couldn’t believe it when I saw this. I am truly heartbroken broken for you and your family. I can’t even imagine the horrible pain you’re going through; especially to have found precious little Max like that. I’m so very sorry, Bret. Rest easy, little Max. Stevie has you now and there is no more pain.
Run free, Max!
So very sorry for your loss. RIP Max :'(
That sucks.
This is so sad . I’m so sorry for the loss of Max . It’s hard to lose an animal of the heart but it’s even harder when it’s so senseless and preventable if the dogs owner just kept them in their yard . I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers . Rest In Peace Max 🙁
R.I.P Max…Run free in God’s beautiful Garden and Fly high with the Angels in Paradise…I am so sorry for your loss… Sending our Condolences and Prayers and Hugs of comfort to you and the family…Fly high and Romp in Paradise Max
So sorry brother, prayers for you and your other four leggeds.
My heart is broken for you all at the Casa. I am stunned that something like this could happen. Prayers for you all.
My heart breaks for you….I can’t even imagine. ….So very very sorry for you and your family
Oh my god. I am so so sorry for your loss.
I’m so very sorry you had to lose your beloved friend so harshly. Sending you hugs and best wishes – these won’t assuage your grief but perhaps knowing that there are many out there who sympathize deeply with you will offer some small comfort.
I am so very very sorry. Please know that I am crying right along with you. It is so very hard to lose one that has such a special place in your heart. My deepest sympathies.
I am so very sorry! Prayers for you and Max.
I’m so sorry! I have no words to make you feel better. But thinking of you all tonight as you turn in at the Casa without sweet Max by your side.
I’m so, so very sorry. What a terrible thing to have happen to little Max. Take comfort in that you found Max before he crossed over. You were there with him when he needed you most. Max is with your beloved Stevie now. Hold Charlie close. She will help you get through this. My thoughts are with you and your family.
There are no words adequate enough to share with you how sorry I am for your loss. My sincerest condolences.
I am so sorry, will keep you in my prayers.
No!! That is just terrible, I’m so sorry, my heart is so sad for you. Max was my favorite 🙁
I am so sorry. My heart hurts for you and all the furbabies that will not understand why max isn’t there.
I am so very sorry about Max. I can’t imagine what you are all going through. My heart is breaking for you and going out to you at the same time…. Bless you all, and may the pain and anger begin to subside soon. Oh I know it will never go away, but I also know that you all (two footed, four (or less) legged, winged, or whichever darned old way the life breezes into The Casa, that you’ll all be there for each other, always having a part of every being there, whether in this life or the next one. Happy Trails to you Max, you precious sweetheart. And many more Happy Trails to the inmates at The Casa (ALL of you 🙂
Love from Southwestern Arkansas. I’m holding my crazy crew a little tighter tonight. 🙂
I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you…
I am so sorry for your whole family. This is awful!! RIP Max. Precious Stevie isn’t alone now.

Just put a “heart” instead of a”crying-face emoticon” cause I could feel ALL YOUR LOVE in your words for that beautiful, sweet , little creature. LOVE much bigger than ANGER for a cruel fate, knowing that this little one has now reached all his fellow friends, running happily with them.
So hard for those who stay to say good-bye. All that remains are priceless memories, waiting the time to be together again…
How heartbreaking. So sorry.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. He did deserve better.
What a tragic end for such a game little fella…but now at peace. Rest easy Max…you will be missed by so many xxx

I’m completely without words… but am thinking of you all and hugging my four-legged best friend just a little bit harder this morning.
I am so deeply saddened by this. I’m sitting here at a quarter to 5 in the morning crying for your loss. I know there’s nothing to say that can make you feel better. But try and feel the love from all of us for all of you at the Casa. You will be on my thoughts and prayers today and all the days to come. 🙁
Oh noo! Im so sorry! And..God you must be angry!!! Poor sweet Max .. RIP angel..:-(
I am sorry for your loss. Yet, I have never known of a Pyranese or a Collie doing this to another animal.
So sad, Bret. Words fail me.
So sorry for your loss ☹️
So sorry for your loss
Oh Bret Winingar-so very sorry. My heart breaks for you.
Brett, my heart aches for you and your family. I am so, so sorry that you lost Max, especially this way. I hope you all get some comfort in having him next to Stevie, and knowing he had a wonderful life at the Casa.

Omg! I’m so very sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry!
Omg! There are no words! To lose your pup is devastating. But, to lose him in such a horrific way is terrible. I am so very sorry Bret. He was loved and had a great life. I hope that brings you solace in the days ahead!
Oh no. There are no words.
‘Having a dog will bless you with the happiest days of your life, and one of the worst’ RiP Max x
I’m so very sorry for your loss of Max…
irresponsible dog owners!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!! Makes me so mad! Praying for you and your loss!
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Bless you in your time of need. ❤
I’m so so very sorry Bret Winingar God bless you and the gang as you deal with this terrible loss. Prayers for peace and comfort and much love
Sorry for your loss, it is so hard losing a pet, but even harder to lose them like this. I am sure Stevie was waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for him.
Oh my, can’t think of anything to say that everyone else hasn’t already said..my heart breaks for you all, I feel your pain and your loss, just know you gave him the best years of his life..R.I.P. Max❤
Tragic loss for you and your family. My heart breaks with yours. Now is time for karma to take care of your neighbors so you don’t have to. I’m so sorry, Bret.
Oh my goodness!!!! I’m speechless. Poor Max. Poor you! So, so sorry for your loss.
prayers had a german shep try tear into my dachshund I gt the dog by kicking an pulling fur gt it good it ran off with tail tween legs shee was on leash an was at my front portch was with her
So, so sorry for your loss. He was very special.
So sorry for your Max, my heart breaks for you.
How horrible! I am so sorry. Please accept my condolances.
Tear flow as if I lost a piece of my heart. The casa will never be the same. RIP sweet max, broken hearted
So so sorry. There isn’t much to say that will help. Sending hugs.
It’s so hard losing a pet when your pets are part of the family. To lose a pet because of someone’s irresponsibility makes that loss all the harder. The anger you feel is certainly justified but don’t let it consume you. I’m so sorry for your loss.
The only thing that I keep thinking was that you were with Max in his final moments. He didn’t die alone, he died surrounded by your love. Which I know doesn’t help at all right now but maybe someday it will bring a little peace to your heart.
so sorry for your loss…<3
Oh Bret, I’m so, very sorry. My sincere condolences to all at the Casa, animal and human.
My heart goes out to your whole family and of course, poor Max.What a terrible injustice!
I am so very sorry for your loss – the tragic circumstances must make it harder – if that is even possible. You and the Casa “crazies” are in my thoughts and prayers.
So very sorry for your loss…Our pups are so much more than just our pets. I know of the hole in your heart, as I have also felt that loss.
I am so sorry. My heart goes out to all of you.
So, so sorry for your loss.
so sad for you. You must be devastated.
So very sorry for your terrible loss of sweet Max.
I am so sorry! I would say more but I keep crying. I will pray for you and your wife.
So, so sorry for this terrible loss. A part of your Casa will always be empty.
So sorry for your loss!
Oh, I am so very sorry and sad
I’ve been following your story a long time. I can’t even put in perspective the right words to say…..I’m hoping we’ll all meet up again on the other side. Rest in peace Max. You were loved by many.
I’m Still Here
Family and my friends, please don’t mourn for me
I’m still here, though you don’t see.
I’m right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I’m always near.
I’m everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I’ll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I’ll never wander out of your sight-
I’m the brightest star on a summer night.
I’ll never be beyond your reach-
I’m the warm moist sand when you’re at the beach.
I’m the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I’m the beautiful flowers of which you’re so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I’m the first bright blossom you’ll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I’m the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you’ll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there’s no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I’ll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you’ll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I’m the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I’m the smile you see on a baby’s face.
Just look for me, friend, I’m everyplace!
Sorry about the like
There are no words. I am sure he was a beautiful companion as you were an equally good parent. Rest jntil peace Max.
RIP Max…
Oh I am so sorry for you. I know that kind of hurt.
My heart breaks for you! So sorry!
I’m so sorry Bret.
Your amazing people with amazing fluffies, I’m so sorry for what max went through.
Max is with Stevie now, that’s something, even though I’ve not had the chance to meet all at the casa, I’m one of many to follow the life at the casa.
I am very sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry! Sending you lots of love.
I am so verry, very sorry for this senseless death. You were blessed with Max as he was with you. I am glad his last moments were with you. Prayers sent your way. ❤❤❤❤
So sorry for the loss of Maxx and heartbroken for your family.
My heart hurts for you and your pack 🙁
I am so sorry that you had to lose your baby in such a terrible way.
May your thoughtless neighbor rot in hell.

So sorry for your loss…. RIP sweet Max!
So very sorry for your loss
I am so sorry. My heart is breaking for all of you. I so despise irresponsible pet owners (your neighbors). They need to be punished. RIP Max you weren’t truly loved. Can’t wait to meet you someday. Say hello to Stevie for us.
I’m so sorry Bret Winingar this was very sad to read. This Canadian girl is sending her love.
I’m so sorry for you and little max. Im weeping for you both..it breaks my heart. What a sweet baby. I know he’s moot in pain anymore though and he was so very loved. He knew that. And one day you will meet him again.

My heart aches for all of you…..so very sorry. (((Hugs)))
So sorry!!
So sorry for your loss. I had a Max, too. After three years, I can still barely speak of him without tears.
GOD HAVE MERCY AND STOP THOSE CRIMINALS! POOR MAX HE DID NOT DESERVE SUCH A MONSTROSITY THIS IS SAD, VERY SAD..
So sorry for your loss. I hope you get justice for him. RIP Max
Tears. RIP Max.
God Bless you both xxx
I lack the words to convey my sadness for you. What a lovely boy. I am so dreadfully sorry.
It saddens me to learn of this. You have my deepest and most sincere condolences. Please remember, Max, Stevie, and the rest of your furry friends that have passed on are now sleeping in your heart. When you feel sad about them it is just them waking to stretch, scratch, or romp around with each other.
I am so, so sorry
So sorry to hear this – Max was a really special dog, and it must be particularly hard to lose him like this. Our sympathies to you and all the family.
No words now, maybe later.
I am heartbroken for you and your family. Stevie and Max are reunited. I’m so very very sorry.
Oh I am so very sorry for your loss as well as the loss of part of the casa del whackos.
Heartbroken for you. I’m glad you could be with him at the end to say your last words to him. I’m sure it was a comfort for him as he ran to the light . Prayers for you and your family.
Omg..I am so very sad and so sorry to hear this. It hurts to read this and I can only imagine how you may feel right now. Words are hard to find but I do send prayers to comfort you to get through this tragic time. So unfair that this has happened. I will hug my girls tonight a lil bit tighter just for Max. Many thoughts of you and your family, a dogs love is such an amazing feeling and they become our family. Rip beautiful Max xo
I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Love our fur babies! Sounds like Max had a very caring and loving friend in you.
Words cannot express how sorry I am. Hugs and peace to you.
So sorry. I know what it’s like to lose one of our furry friends. I’ve lost four over my life time. I keep going back for more, I have a rescue dog now that I love dearly. There is probably a rescue dog out there with your name on it.
So sorry. He had a great life, love and home. Be proud of that and always love him.
I am so sorry. Sometimes our pets are more human than the people in our lives.I pray for u both.
I’m so very sorry. I know your heart is broken.
I can not even begin to know how you are feeling right now. May your memories of Max comfort you now. And may the lights of the rainbow bridge welcome Max home until you meet again. Hugs to you all
So sad…
I can’t bear the thought of what took place. My heart breaks for Max and your family. You are all in my thoughts. So very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry Brett and CB! I would be going after the farmer with a vengeance, but you are a better human than I am!
I am so terribly sorry that this happened. Please remember the joy that Max gave you- I truly believe that “they” save us!
Just know that through all these posts, we grieve with you even though yours is deeper. You have let us in and now a little bit of your family seems like part of our family. Sorry and prayers may seem like empty words but if we all were together, your family would know the magnitude of our love, care, and concern we have. I know you are strong and blessed. Through this the questions arise with doubt and regret. We do not know all or why but through it, know we are willing to walk through this with you. You have given so much through your words, I hope you feel the same through how many have responded.
I am at a loss of words, I am so very sorry for the loss of sweet little Max, I have not been on fb for a few days, so it shocked me to no end to read about Max, we all will miss him, my prayers are with you and your family~~~ Love the picture with Max and Stevie below~~~ poor little Max, R.I.P. sweet baby!!!
So sorry for your loss and the pain you must be feeling with what happened to your fur baby. Hugs!!!
I am so sorry. RIP Max.
Irresponsible owners once again, I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Max. Especially in such a tragic way. You will always carry your memories.
Sorry to hear about your buddy Max. He now has his wings.
That is true sadness in it’s rawest form. So sorry. Xo
Sorry for your loss….
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Watch for him visiting in your dreams, to show you he’s ok, well & strong on the other side.
I am truly so sorry for your loss. Those dogs should be put to sleep
