@tracylancast @VolunteerKHFT @Khftchildrensed @KHFTPaedPhysio @KHFTSurgery Thank you Tracy. He loved going in to see all his friends at KH.

@peterpsaint @VolunteerKHFT @Khftchildrensed @KHFTPaedPhysio @KHFTSurgery Dear Peter, I was so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news today. Max was a fantastic mentor when I started my volunteering journey at the hospital last year and I know how well loved he was by everyone who met him. He will always be remembered and in our hearts 🌈🐾🐕‍🦺❤️

@MrBway Thank you Gary. He made a difference for everyone and he loved doing it.

@peterpsaint We will all miss these moments. But Max can rest easy in doggy heaven knowing what a difference his paw prints made on our children’s lives 💙🐩

@SianBates6 Thank you Sian. He was a one-off.

Peter I am so sorry to hear about Max. He was much loved by all that met him.

@kmcgilchk @VolunteerKHFT @Khftchildrensed @KHFTPaedPhysio @KHFTSurgery Thank you. He was such a special character. I just held the lead, he did all the magic.

@peterpsaint @VolunteerKHFT @Khftchildrensed @KHFTPaedPhysio @KHFTSurgery So sorry to hear this Peter. It’s not only losing a family pet but having been a PAT dog makes them so special to so many others. I lost Archie last year and people still remember/ask about him when I’m visiting with Eric. Take care 💛
