Max is the dog and companion of The Grinch, debuting as the secondary antagonist in the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Max is also a prominent character in the television special, the film adaptation, and the musical adaptation (See The CGI Version of Max). He acts as The Grinch's reindeer in the book and its adaptations.
In the television special, Max has slightly changed in appearance, mainly in his face. He was voiced by Dallas McKennon, then voiced by Henry Gibson and now Frank Welker (narrator of "Max's Playhouse" DVD segment "The Care and Feeding of a Grinch"). His only two speaking lines are "Yipe!" and "Raaaahhh!" performed by Dallas McKennon, while being hit by the Grinch's whip. He has brown curved ears and tan fur.
In the Live-action film, he is shown to be a nice dog and actually like Christmas, although he's treated badly by his master. He is played by Kelley the dog.
