Our team had the honor of providing end-of-care for beloved K-9 Officer Max. This courageous partner served his handler and community with unwavering loyalty and dedication. Assisting in his peaceful passing was a solemn responsibility and a final act of compassion.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sgt. Miller and his family, the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department, and all who served alongside Max. Thank you for trusting our hospital with his care. He will never be forgotten.
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of K-9 Max.
