Max had always been aware of Crufts Magical Dog & Creature Show. The kind of social circles the Davies family moved in meant he knew plenty of people with pedigree dogs who wanted to show them off. He'd even been invited to attend before, though he'd always dodged the invitation because he could think of many better ways to spend his day than watching old white men judge which Irish Setter looked most like an Irish Setter. Attending with Higgs and Siobhan was quite a different experience. They'd avoided the gundog judging altogether, and instead were watching an owl obedience display which was really quite remarkable. Max stood between Siobhan and Higgs, not quite touching either but nonetheless feeling content just to be there with them.
Once the display ended, they all applauded, and a magically amplified voice informed them that there would be no further displays until the afternoon. "So," Max said, smiling at Higgs as they turned to join the people filing out of the display room, "I know we're not allowed to let you get a pet, but do you want to go and look at all the animals anyway?" He assumed the answer was yes, though perhaps Higgs would prefer to avoid the temptation. Just in case, Max pulled his programme of the day's events from his pocket and consulted it. "There's something called the good citizen ring programme," he observed. "I have absolutely no idea what that means, but it's starting in twenty minutes."
