On Wednesday, the Grinch visited Dogs Inc to find the next pup to play his canine co-star, Max, when he visits the Van Wezel the weekend of November 14-16. During today’s auditions, The Grinch met four of our cutest puppies, seeing who had the spunk and confidence to play Max and discovering which pup loves that he’s “as cuddly as a cactus.” Each puppy showed off their personality and proved they’re not afraid of a green creature with a heart two sizes too small. The Grinch ended up choosing an 8-week-old, black male puppy to be his next canine companion!
