Max is the tritagonist of "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas!". He's also the pet of The Grinch and, unlike his master, is very kind and loves Christmas. Max, despite being the Grinch's pet and sidekick, is actually much nicer than his master and loves both Christmas and the Whos, but reluctantly does the Grinch’s bidding out of either loyalty or fear of him. The Grinch decides to use him as his own reindeer since real ones were scarce on Mt. Crumpit. When they get to Whoville, he holds the ladder for The Grinch as he goes down the chimney and steals all the food and presents from the houses.
