I came up with the bright idea to start taking Max out on a leash so he and I could get used to each other and so he could get some exercise. I might as well have put a leash on a bull. That was without a doubt the strongest dog I had ever been around. He sniffed and peed on everything including my dad's next door neighbor's pit bull. I'm sorry but that was funny. In the pit bull's defense it was only a pup.
The funny thing was when my wife took him out on a leash. They were walking out thru the backyard and a rabbit takes off in front of Max. My father and I was standing in the backyard watching all of this. Max took off after the rabbit and I thought Kathy had achieved lift off, he pulled her off the ground so fast. She tripped and fell down and Max was still in chase mode and he was stomping on her head trying to resume the chase. To Kathy's credit she never let go of the leash.
By the time I arrived on the scene Kathy was crying pretty hard and me and Pops couldn't stop laughing. The harder she cried the harder we laughed. I did check to make sure she was alright and she was more scared than anything but Max wouldn't hurt anyone unless he was over exuberant in his friendliness. Like I said to her credit, she didn't let go of the leash and Max and her formed a solid friendship after that day.
