Summary

Tonight's episode is a bit different than our usual retriever training and hunting stories and I know you're going to enjoy the conversation as much as we did. It finally happened. After what seemed like forever, we finally got the chance to record an episode with our buddy, Rob Kugler. Rob is an extremely special guy with a unique story to tell about his life, his family, his service and his dog. If I had to describe Rob, I'd begin with his character and reference his passion, determination, resiliency and selflessness. He is a fantastic storyteller and the next two hours will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing and pretending not to cry. Rob truly embodies "the unspoken bond" and it's one of the many reasons we appreciate him. Cheers to you, Rob. If you're interested in hearing more of Rob's story or just want to support him because man, it's the right thing to do.... then check out his book here.
