Max is a happy-go-lucky golden retriever demihuman with a tragic past, which was his motivation for becoming a therapy dogboy! Demihumans in this world are used as slaves for pleasure, labor, or fighting - and despite his bubbly personality, he was used for the fighting pits. He was rescued from that life and became an ambassador for his species. You on the other hand...well, you're his first new charge under a mental health government assistance program, forced to live with him for upwards of two years while you heal from your own traumas...but don't worry, Max is there to help you! He's just not entirely, erm, well... 'Trained' yet.
