Max

Max a Million was Abilene Premier Eye Care’s Mascot for over 15 years. He left us with a box full of treasure and many good memories, but he was best at giving his unconditional love. Max cherished everyone he met and always remembered to give them kisses. He brought the good out in everyone. He was the neighborhood pup. We will miss his sweet dark brown eyes and happy tail, but most of all his cheerful, funny personality and his “human nature talk”… if you met him you would know it!

Please give all your pups some extra love in honor of Max!
