Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2: 32 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

28. Max The Dog

When Punisher acquires a pet dog after killing off the Irish mob, he's reuniting with a character from the comics, by the name of Max. He debuted in Punisher War Zone #37. Obviously the origin story is different: here the tale of him hunting down and killing the crooks who killed his owner and earning the respect of Frank is replaced with him being rescued himself. It's an unwritten suggestion that there's something about the creature - bred for violence - that Frank sees in himself. The changed origin also accounts for the fact that Max barks here. In the comics he doesn't make a sound, instead retaining the element of surprise in order to attack anyone who entered Frank's safe-house.
