TRIBUTES have poured in for Cumbria's 'miracle' dog Max - after he died of a brain tumour on Wednesday.

Max, from Keswick, was introduced to the world as a lifeline to owner Kerry Irving, who adopted the friendly pooch after a car accident in 2006 left him in excruciating pain, both physically and mentally.

Last week, Max's owner confirmed Max had been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

During his life, 'Max the Miracle Dog', from Keswick, has raised more than £450,000 for charities, alongside fellow pooches Paddy and Harry.
