About this ebook

The Sunday Times bestseller

’Are you ready, Max? If anyone’s going to help me do this, it’s you.’

The heart-warming tale of a life-saving friendship.

In 2006, a traumatic car accident changed Kerry Irving’s life forever.

Suffering from severe neck and back injuries, Kerry was unemployed and housebound, struggling with depression and even thoughts of suicide. He went from cycling over 600 miles a month to becoming a prisoner in his own home.

With hope all but lost, Kerry’s wife encouraged him to go on a short walk to the local shop. In the face of unbearable pain and overwhelming panic, he persevered and along the way, met an adorable yard dog named Max. As the Spaniel peered up through the railings, Kerry found comfort and encouragement in his soulful brown eyes. This chance encounter marked a turning point in both their lives.

In Max, Kerry found comfort and motivation and in Kerry, Max found someone to care for him. This is their remarkable, inspiring story.

De schrijver is bekend van de Facebook-pagina "Max Out in the Lake District", vol met prachtige foto's van zijn trouwe viervoeter Max gemaakt tijdens de dagelijkse wandelingen in de schitterende omgeving wat de Lake District is. In het boek het verhaal van de moeilijke jeugd van de schrijver en hoe zijn kennismaking met Max hem later door een moeilijke periode in zijn leven heeft geholpen. En daarna ook een bron van inspiratie, steun en hoop voor anderen werd. Toegankelijk geschreven en vol liefde voor zijn fantastische hond Max.
