People who see pictures of Max always ask the same question: "Is his nose really that big?"
Yes, Max's snout is amazingly, astoundingly, astonishingly huge. Even on a large dog, it would still be big.
To prove this point, I calcutated the percentage of Max's nose to his total body length and compared him to Rufus, our English Setter. Rufus is 37 inches long and his nose is 3.5 inches long, making his nose 9.4% of his body length. Max is 26 inches long, and his nose measures 4 inches, making it 15.3% of his body length.
A few absolutely true facts about Max's nose:
* Sitting in the backyard, he can tell you what's for lunch -- in Alaska
* When he sneezes, scientists in Peru report a seismic event
* He gives anteaters an inferiority complex
* In a race, Max always, always wins by a nose
