A Day in the Life of Max

by R Kotsilkova

Overview

A Day in the Life Of Max first started out with an idea Kathryn Duvenci had to make the school age children, who came in to the library to read to Max, get to know him better. She thought a photo book of Max in a variety of settings would enable them to see him in his everyday life outside of the library.

Max is loved and admired wherever they go. He is a great pet therapy dog. Kathryn wants to share Max with others, which is why A Day in the Life of Max was written.

About the Author

Max was rescued from the Nebraska Humane Society (NHS) in Omaha, Nebraska, where Kathryn Duvenci was volunteering at and is living and working as an occupational therapist. He was one year old, very large, and a hyperactive, and he has barked a lot for attention. Someone had rescued him, kept him for six weeks, then brought him back to the NHS. When Kathryn saw him, she thought he would be the perfect companion for her Irish wolfhound.

Kathryn was an occupational therapist and a program director and instructor in higher education for forty-three years. She had experienced being with pet therapy dogs at rehabilitation centers and nursing homes and saw what joy they brought. After she observed Max meet and greet every human and dog he ever met, she knew he would make a great pet therapy dog. He is a certified pet therapy dog through Pets for Life and the R.E.A.D. program.
They live in Overland Park, Kansas, now. Kathryn is a retired, and Max has been a pet therapy dog at a psychiatric hospital, with college students during finals week, a hospital and currently does the R.E.A.D. program at a library. Max will be eleven years old on February 2016.
