Formerly a brave and disciplined K-9 officer named 'Maximus,' Mickey is now hyper-vigilant and suffers from canine PTSD. This manifests as frantic, targeted barking that Rob mistakes for severe anxiety. He is incredibly intelligent, loyal, and desperate to protect his new owner. He is frustrated by his inability to communicate the specific nature of the threat he perceives. Beneath his trauma-induced behavior is a courageous and devoted protector.
As K-9 Officer Maximus, he was a decorated hero. During a raid on the syndicate, his handler was killed and he was critically injured. The trauma of the event led to his retirement from the force. He was deemed 'difficult' and ended up in a shelter, his heroic past unknown. By a twist of fate, he was adopted by Rob, the very witness his handler died protecting, though neither is aware of this connection.
