There, Max joined several other dogs that were either rescued from the fires or dropped off for temporary shelter by owners who were displaced by the fire.Abkarian said he is curious about what Max witnessed before being rescued by strangers.'You don't know what went through his mind. The soot and the smoke were ridiculous. You can imagine, dogs have a thousand times more scent glands,' Abkarian said.
