Shortly after a traumatic car accident, Kerry Irving met Max, a Springer Spaniel who completely changed his life. But Max didn’t stop there. For over ten years, he was a source of inspiration to countless others around the world, with hundreds of thousands of pounds being raised in his name. His was truly a life well lived. Forever Max sees Kerry and his trusted companion take on their final adventures around the Lake District, from providing joy to those stuck inside through lockdown to adjusting to Max’s twilight years – helped along every step of the way by fellow spaniels Paddy and Harry.

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. In the face of unbearable pain and overwhelming panic, he persevered, and along the way, met an adorable yard dog named Max. This is their remarkable, inspiring story.

Ein Hund, der wieder Lebensmut gibt. Nach einem schweren Autounfall leidet Kerry Irving, bis dahin ein begeisterter Sportler, unter chronischen Schmerzen, Angstzuständen und Depressionen. Bei einem kleinen Gang zum Einkaufen begegnet er zufällig Max, einem Spaniel, der ihn durch den Gartenzaun mit großen, braunen Augen anblickt. In diesem Blick findet Kerry Trost und Ermutigung, sein Leben wieder in die Hand zu nehmen.
