10. Max was one of a wildly popular breed of dog, well known for its ability in shepherding, agility, obedience, rescue, and sheer wonderful companionship. They look fantastic on television, too. What breed was Max?
From Quiz The Bionic Dog: Slower Than a Speeding Bullet
Answer:
German Shepherd
Max was a German Shepherd. That's the only herding dog mentioned, and while a Newfoundland is lovable, it's only more powerful than a locomotive in the water. A Chihuahua is so brave it would leap tall buildings, but could it save the day on bionic legs? You might point out that a mouse regularly saved the day on television, but he could fly. The producers most likely chose a German Shepherd because of their excellent obedience and beauty, but also owing to prior successful dog stars, such as a military K-9 German Shepherd in, "Run, Joe, Run!" (1974), and of course Rin-Tin-Tin (first seen in the 1920s to 50s).
