This isn't pathetic at all! Saul prays to God Omnipotent to be spared from anymore Eve Drama... "Please God, Help us find Max, or kill me with a lightning bolt now..."

I find it hard to believe that Moy gets paid for this.
What self-respecting dog would answer to "Come to mama, Max!" or "Mama loves you, Max!"? For God's sake, stop the game of Marco Polo and call the pound.
After all this buildup, there has to be more than the three of them turning the next corner and finding Max sitting on the blah blah bench, right? In an old ‘For Better or Worse’ strip the author bumped off Farley, the Old English Sheepdog, after he pulled one of the kids from a raging river. Apparently, the exertion was too much for him and he died of a heart attack. So… that means we will find Max drowning in one of the hundreds of ponds on the Charterstone grounds. His foolish neckerchief will be caught on a submerged branch. As he’s struggling to free himself, Greta will dive in and dogpaddle out to him. With his last bit of strength, Max will latch on to her bow tie and be pulled safely back to shore. Of course, the exertion will be too much for Greta and she will die of a heart attack. Saul will be devastated but hopefully he’s packing a pistol in that green sweater and will shoot Eve because this is all her fault. Then Saul will adopt Max and forget about Greta because, as we all know, one dog is just the same as any other. The End
Boffo comments by all today! Nance, your BFH title perfectly captures our community frustration with the Tiresome Trio (I'm including Greta with those two humans). a pox on them.
HelenClark, your scenario is terrific, and I'd love to see it happen. Heck, I'd even be satisfied with Max at the Camerons' apartment, drinking vodka with Toby while nibbling Pizza Rolls and watching The Real Housewives of Santa Royale with her.
@Helen. Great scenario, but way beyond Moy's abilities, don't ya think? Lynn Johnson (who does the 'For Better or Worse' strip) has a sister-in-law (well, she's divorced now...but I guess she's still kind of a SIL) who is a vet. She got on Lynn's case after some years, because after all, sheepdogs don't usually live that long. But Lynn was having a hard time letting Farley go.
Moy, on the other hand, doesn't appear to ever take advice from someone who might know something. It's been three days now and apparently she still doesn't understand that we get it!! Saul is worried that Greta might not be that great of a tracker. On the other hand, if Max has any sense at all he'll head to Oprah's house. No one ever threatens Oprah.
KitKat and MissScarlet - Thanks very much! But I agree with you both. It's much more likely that KM will have the three of them turn a corner (sometime next month?) only to find Max sitting on the blah blah bench. BTW, MissScarlet, I still haven't forgiven Lynn Johnson for killing off Farley. He was the only character in the strip that I liked. I wish she'd bumped off the three kids instead.
Oh, MissScarlet - I forgot to add that even though one can divorce a spouse, one's in-laws remain one's in-laws forever. Hard lesson learned after three divorces!
Yeah, I know it’s a comic strip but in reality, dogs that run away, that get lost, go into survival mode where they will not respond to their names and have been known to run away from their owners. A dog that had been traumatized by noise, and then bolted after hearing a similar sound, world definitely fit that survival mode and will not be patiently waiting to be found.

Today's BoredFace Haiku is titled
"Who The Hell Is Will?".
Will!
Find Max!
Still better than New Mark Trail. At least the story is coherent.
