About Max's troubled past and how he came to be my dog

lyrics

max is a dog who comes from placentia
you didn't know that i bet ya
well there's a few more things that you don't know
i'll help you out, i'll explain real slow

see he used to be involved in dog crime
stealing, robbing, barking, all the time
because his owner didn't love him
he just gave him a place to live

late at night he had to scrounge for food
his means of getting it was normally quite rude
he would murder things like other dogs and cats
all because of his dog food lack

see he is nice but he had to act real mean
always be angry whenever he was seen
you gotta keep your image up
let everyone know that you are rough

nobody would mess with max
no human, dog, or cat
then he noticed he had no friends
the next day he was gonna make ammends

but then his owner moved away
drove to st. john's to give max to the spca
he didn't quite make it that far
he gave him to the pound from the back of his car

the next day the humaine society
loaded him in their van and flew down the street
dropped him off at the spca
where randy was working that very day

randy is a man who loves a nice hound
picks their life back up when they are down
he saw max and he called me
said there's a dog you've got to see

i headded up to check him out
see what all the fuss was about
when i got there i went out back
saw a dog, big, furry, and black

he came over and said hi to me
i could tell he was nice as could be
we went out in the parking lot
i took him out around the block

said to randy he is the one
when we walk we have lots of fun
so the next day went back to pick him up
to spend my life with a big furry mutt

now max has a home full of love
lots of people to give him hugs
he has a warm dry place to sleep
and there's always something for him to eat
