that the escapees had headed off into the woods so Moore followed with Max to see if the dog could find a scent. After casting about the area several times, Max came up empty nosed. “So we knew the man was lying,” Moore reported. On the basis of Max’s failure to discover a trail, law enforcement personnel abandoned the search locally and concentrated on other leads which resulted in recapture of the convicts the following day near Leesburg.
On another occasion. Max tracked a murderer in the rain, losing the trail only where it led past a yard full of beagles who rushed out to attack the big German shepherd every time he tried to follow the scent through their territory. Even with odds of about 15 to one, Max was going to do some damage to his assailants, Moore noted, so he was forced to pull his dog off. “1 guess you’d have to say he wasn’t completely successful but we found out the next day when the man turned himself in that Max was right on track. He would have caught the guy if it hadn't been for those beagles.”
Max has met with unqualified success, however, on many other occasions. He’s found people lost in the woods, including a woman who’d attempted an earlier suicide. In that instance, Moore and his dog had put in a full day of schooling at the Richmond training center only to be called out for the search as darkness fell on a cold, blustery evening.
