Straight from Idyllwild, California, Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller II (also known simply as Mayor Max) is on his way to the tournament! Holding the position of mayor for 7 years, he's no stranger to dealing with heated politics during his campaign. With his cute and fluffy appearance, he's sure to win over dog-lovers from around the world! Also, tagging along him is U.S. California Representative Gil Cisneros to assist him with communications, although he won't directly interfere with the tournament.

Troy: My, you're lookin' mighty beat, Audrey ol' pal! What say I help tend to your wounds? I was a *doctor* in an infomercial once, after all.

Audrey: YOU layin' your clammy mits on ME? I'd rather wilt than let you get anywhere near me, chump!

Phantasma: What's the difference between a real doctor and one on an infomercial, Mr. McClure?

Troy: Why, none at all, kid! I can perform anything those fancy-shmancy physicians can do without just one extra dollar's worth of pay!

Ruby: I...think Coraline is doing a great job nursing Ms. Audrey back to health, Mr. McClure.

Coraline: Yeah, she's...almost back to normal.

Troy: Ah, alright. Still, in case you ever need my services, I'm just a few doors down.

Coraline: No, you aren't.

Troy: I can be if you want.

Ivy: We don't.
