I have had dogs my entire life, I'm an active person who likes to spend time in nature and I believe a dog enhances that experience 100 fold. My dream is to train protection dogs for single mothers, I vividly recall the days I would come home from school and spend hours in the basement with my puppies. It was not until I read a book called " Trident Navy Seal K9" that I truely grasped the magnitude of dogs capabilities and what they have done for this country. I truely belive that this country owes an enormous amount of gratitude to the K9s left behind after Vietnam, I listen to soldiers tell stories of dogs sacrificing their lives and it brings me to tears.
