Maximus Ferro is the sort of Cane Corso who is stitched out of patience, weight, and a stubborn fairness. Anyone within earshot of Maximus Ferro eventually hears the theory that the soup stalls were once a court of small judges. Pups recognise Maximus Ferro from the back, which is a compliment in The Yard whether or not it sounds like one. Maximus Ferro is sure the pups who keep showing up are the ones who eventually find the truth.
