Maximilian was euthanized this morning after suffering from kidney failure. He was not able to recover despite the vet staff's efforts. ACC is still pursuing leads to find the person who did this to him. Because of the tips , officers were able to find his owner. Maximilian had been stolen last week. He loved Maximilian, and was horrified at what happened to his dog. He was able to be with Maximilian while he was euthanized. ACC will do their best to catch and prosecute whoever did this.
