Being brave isn't the lack of fear. Being brave is acting despite fear.

Max is the bravest boy!

I had to sit on the floor to invite cuddles, but he finally came in and is now resting on his stinky blanket. To be completely honest, he was only out like that for a few minutes, but bless his heart he was trying so hard. The fosters called him "Sergeant" because he was bossy and protective of his siblings.

What a good boy 🥺 I hope he gets treats for protecting you from the thunder so well

You cannot be brave unless you're afraid.

Such a brave boy. Give this dog a Dino bone and a medal

What a good boy. Tell Max we are very impressed by his bravery!

Well you're here to post about it so I know he did a good job.

Max is the best boy

whines

FLASH! CRACK! BOOM! the thunder roars!

BARK! BARK-BARK! BARK! (translation: "LEAVE MY PACK ALONE! GO AWAY!")

whimpers as he looks around to check if everyone is alright

Returns back to guard position.

Best boy

Max deserves all the smooches and treats 💜

Thunder has never killed any of his family, because of his brave work!
