Is there a story or a few stories from your entire time there that are memorable, that are worth sharing?

So, yeah, so I got paired with Tyson. Was he there when you were there?

No, but he was the one that ended up losing his life, right?

Yeah, so he was my dog. dog um mike uh forget his last name he

had him before so it was like mike and tyson and he he really wanted that dog because when we were

going through the the whole deal was if you get a brand new dog you know when that dog retires you

get first dibs on them.

And to me, that's fair.

And it's since changed, and I'm not a fan of it.

But anyway, Mike ended up being one of the team guys that was over there when I was going through the training and

because I went through like three dogs like Raff got retired.

Then I got a new dog and I went to the buy, you know, just to kind of see how it went down

and they picked this dog and his name was in the book.

And he was awesome.

I was like, this dog's the shit and he's fun and he's playful,

but he's got a strong bite.

He's got good odor detection, like everything he wanted the dog,

but he had bad hips.

And it was like, so he got washed out.

And then I got stuck with Tyson, and I fucking hated him when I first got him because he was like, he was the alpha among all the alphas. It was him and Duke, which Duke got to a point where like... Got Shepherd? Yeah. Yeah. He was one dog that we selected when we were there. Yeah, he was...

Fucking monster.

Monster. Yeah. But, like, it got to a point where he was biting his handlers. Well, I wouldn't say it got to that point. It was always that way. I actually have a funny story about him. His real or full name was Dukas. Everybody called him Duke. But it's like a 95-pound Dutch Shepherd.
