On Easter Sunday, 2008, in the afternoon we suddenly and totally unexpected had to say our last good bye to our family member, MAXIMUS (CH. Von Riesenhof The Gladiator). He will be very much missed, not only by us, here at home, but also by his many friends. He was a true gentleman of a dog! A wonderful and beautiful Great Dane.
