1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: And now another grave moment from twenty twenty five Alvis

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Duran in the Morning Show yesterday.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Of course, with Veterans Day, we have a firm belief

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: that every day should be Veterans Day, just saying, just saying,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, yesterday in Jacksonville, Froggy was that to this amazing,

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: amazing event for canines for warriors.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 3: You want to talk about it.

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we raised one point two million dollars yesterday for

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 4: service animals for our veterans and had the chance to

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 4: talk to some veterans, had the chance to make some

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 4: puppy dog friends, which is always a good time. I

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 4: made the best friend with this service dog named Ben.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 4: He just had this look in his eyes and he

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 4: crawled up in my lap, seventy eight pounds Golden Retriever

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 4: and he just cuddled with me and I hugged his

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: little head in his face. He was so sweet. And

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 4: then to watch them work, and that's what they're doing

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 4: when they put the vests on, the animals are at

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: work and when their warrior tells them make a friend,

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: know that it's okay to be pet And it is

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: incredible to watch how smart these animals are and what

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: they do while the word is speaking to us. The

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: animal gets kind of behind them and watches their six

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 4: as they call it, their blind side, because that's what

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: they're doing. They are working, and they are there to

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: help the veteran live their life that they have not

27
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: been able to because of things that have happened in

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: the military.

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: I learned a long time ago in the world of

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: dogs that dogs love many things. One thing, one thing

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: they really truly love is having a job. It's true.

32
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: I mean, you have dogs that are at airports running

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: birds off the runways to keep the planes from crash.

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: You have dogs sniffing, sniffing through all sorts of tragedy, looking.

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 5: For life on a farm, hurting everybody.

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, my dogs, my dogs have jobs. The Schnauzers,

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: they just crap on the floor.

38
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: That's all they do. Oh, mine has the same job.

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,520

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: about There are a big Canine for Warriors event in

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Jacksonville yesterday. It was pretty wild. I will read you

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: a couple of stats. Every single day in the US,

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: roughly twenty twenty veterans die by suicide, and at the

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: same time, every day in America, over one thousand dogs

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: are euthanized. Oh and you'd wonder, if you're just turning

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: us on right now, well, what do these two have

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: in common? We're talking about veterans and dogs, absolutely so

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: knowing that there needs to be an end to veterans suicide,

56
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: Canines for Warriors is providing highly trained service dogs, many

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: of them rescues being saved themselves to military veterans nationwide

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: suffering from the wounds of war PTSD traumatic brain injuries,

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: military sexual trauma.

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: The list goes on, as they call it, saving lives

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: at both ends of the leash.

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: I just I love that it's true. So, Adam, Adam,

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: you were with US Air Force how long?

64
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: Twelve years?

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: Twelve years and when you got out you got hit

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: with PTSD Hardah, right, just describe if you want, like

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: what happened about eighteen months after I had come home.

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I started experiencing all these different symptoms. Mostly started it

69
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: started revolving around sleep, and from there it snowballed into

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: panic attacks. Its snowbolled into putting a lot of restrictions

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: on myself because I started getting nervous by going out

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: in public, and you know, that path led into a

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: very dark, dark place where I found myself on the

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: verge of committing suicide.

75
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: Right And.

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I had gone to an event and there were some

77
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: service dogs there. It was an NFL thing, and I

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: had gone over and asked the folks who had their dogs,

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: and I just asked them. I was like, is it

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: as great as they say? It's meeting dogs helping people.

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: Right exactly?

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: And it was a very short answer, and it's like absolutely.

83
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: And so I want to say it's maybe a month later,

84
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: after learning more about the foundation, that I took the

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: step and I applied, and quickly after that I was approved.

86
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: And that's when I guess you can say that the

87
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: healing really started beginning.

88
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 2: And it's a miracle how it happens, right, Absolutely, And

89
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: I've heard many different people in your position and close

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: to your position. Tried to describe how it worked, and

91
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: no one could really put it into words. How there's

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: no way to describe it. In some ways, it just

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: trust me, it works absolutely.

94
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, become a team and you know that's two ways, right,

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: So we both have to look after each other, right,

96
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: and and it just strengthens that bond so much.

97
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: That's an honor to have you here with Cooper. Thank you.

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: How long have you been with Cooper? Two years almost

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: to the day, right? Have you ever had dogs before

100
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: me you're growing up or yeah? Yeah, yeah, but did

101
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: you ever look at a dog at that point in

102
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: your life to be a healer in your life? You

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: just you always knew life was better with a dog around,

104
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: of course, without doubt. Of course, I can be honest

105
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: with I love each and every one of you here.

106
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: I'd rather be home with my dogs.

107
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: No offense.

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it.

109
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: I'd with your dogs, yeah, Danielle.

110
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 5: So can you tell us a little bit about what

111
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 5: Cooper actually does for you?

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: Sure?

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: Uh?

114
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 6: So?

115
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: Cooper is my lifeline. So we were able to go

116
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: out in public together. I don't have a lot of

117
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: those you know, those fears that inevitably cause a lot

118
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: more of those symptoms when you're in public, you know,

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: the fear of having a setback or a panic attack

120
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: in public, right, it after a while, it keeps you home.

121
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

122
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: And so this was a way for me to start

123
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: get back and reclaiming a lot of those freedoms that

124
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: I had taken away from myself.

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: So Cooper looks after him. Yeah, I love that Cooper

126
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: sees things we don't see.

127
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 5: Yeah.

128
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: And so if Cooper sees you getting all nervousness a

129
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: situation or having anxiety, Cooper rolls in and goes, Okay,

130
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: exactly is it likely?

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: I watched on Instagram these dogs that like if someone

132
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: needs medication or the dog can sense if someone's about to,

133
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 5: you know, have a medical emergency, and the dog like

134
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 5: opens the door for them or grabs their medication.

135
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing.

136
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, if you don't see it, but Cooper is

137
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 2: wrapped around Adam's yeah ankles, right, is so cute?

138
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: Cut?

139
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: How How I know that?

140
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 7: He says, please don't touch me, I'm a service dog.

141
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 7: How many people ignore that and come.

142
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: Touch the dog?

143
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable how many people just ignore it and

144
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: she's offender.

145
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 7: And then I was told I was allowed to make

146
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 7: a friend.

147
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can put as many patches on a dog's

148
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: best as you want to you, but there are people

149
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: just come by like, who doggy so cute?

150
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 7: But how detrimental is that to the dog?

151
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: She learns to be resilient to it, you know, more

152
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: more times than not. I pull her away right away, okay,

153
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: And so yeah, she she kind of is like, all right, well,

154
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, let's move on that kind of wow.

155
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 7: Can I make a friend with Cooper later?

156
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: Sure?

157
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for asking. You should here at a zoo

Speaker 2: to talk to Hannah about training these dogs in a second,

171
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: but there's something I've got to do.

172
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: So, Froggy, you were at the big event yesterday, right, correct.

173
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, where we raised one point two million dollars, which

174
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm so proud of people that just want

175
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: to give back and help such an incredible organization.

176
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: You were the one that said, by the way, Elvis,

177
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: you you have. You have contributed to two dogs being

178
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: trained and saved. You have, and you never named them.

179
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, uh, those animals need names. Yes, we must,

180
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: we must, so we have to name at least one today.

181
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: If you have two names, we'd be great, But we

182
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: have one. So, I mean I would choose a name

183
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: like Puddles or something stupid. We shouldn't use puddles. Hanna's

184
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: Puddles a bad name.

185
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: Froggy. I want to show you something. Okay, I'm gonna

186
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: read this to you. There's a plaque here.

187
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: It says, we proudly bestow names upon two canine for warriors,

188
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: especially trained service dogs, so that they may now share

189

237
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,239
Speaker 2: is Rocky.

238
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 4: Oh so sweet, I'm telling you, and I always say this,

239
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: and everybody loves their dog. Rocky was the greatest dog

240
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: I ever had in my whole life, and so for

241
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: for that to be Rocky means everything to me. And

242
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: Rocky really Rocky would have been a great service dog. Rex, oh,

243
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: Rex not so much fabulous. So to be able to

244
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: carry on Rocky's name and know that he is going

245
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: to help someone means just you have no idea how

246
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: much that means.

247
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: Wow, God, Lista is going to be so thrilled.

248
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 6: Oh, it is such an honor Froggy. We are so

249
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 6: so happy to name her in honor of your dog.

250
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I have a question.

251
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, So she's been trained for a while and

252
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 7: she's been trained as Raven. So how does she transition

253
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 7: now to Rocky?

254
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

255
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 6: Great question. So we do a game called name Wreck. Basically,

256
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 6: it's a lot of back and forth. There's a lot

257
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 6: of treats involved. You use their new name as they

258
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 6: are coming towards you. You reinforce that, and then you

259
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 6: kind of move into a different type of focus game

260
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 6: where you say their name. If they look up at you,

261
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 6: you say our marker, which is called yes, and then

262
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: you reinforce with a treat. Usually with most dogs, it's

263
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 6: within a couple of days. They'll pick up on it

264
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 6: because you know, they of course love the cookies. That

265
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 6: makes it much easier, and you know, for the dogs

266
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: that struggle a little bit more with it. It's really

267
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 6: only up to just a couple of weeks. So we

268
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 6: like to sponsor them about two months or so before

269
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 6: they go to class, so we make sure we have

270
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 6: enough time to really set that name in. You know,

271
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: we send you, guys, lots of sponsor updates, so you'll

272
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 6: hear from Raven, you'll get some photos from us.

273
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so his name is Scary.

274
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: That's his name.

275
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,479
Speaker 2: They've been crazy about it. If we got a Hamburger,

276
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: if you start training, can't we just name him Carl.

277
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 5: I don't think it would take much for him.

278
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: So I mean, so, Hannah, here's pie. That'll work.

279
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: So, Hannah, working with these dogs, do you also work

280
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: with the veterans as well to line them?

281
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 3: For instance?

282
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: Adam, I mean, was it a lot of work to

283
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: really get to know Cooper and understand how to drive Cooper?

284
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I mean the instruction manual must

285
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: be thinking, oh my gosh.

286
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they prepare you. They do a very good

287
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: job of preparing you for what's to come.

288
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: Excuse me.

289
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, once you get off that bus, right and

290
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: it's just you and the dog, you know, that's when

291
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the bonding really really starts. You know, they bring for

292
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: three weeks, they bring you down there and they introduce you,

293
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and there was a really intense bonding process every day,

294
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: multiple hours, eight hours a day. You're just and you

295
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: always have the dog attached to you no matter where

296
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: you are.

297
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: You know, this is a.

298
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: Lot of work for everyone, it is, including the dog

299
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: its and just naturally over time, as you guys become

300
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: more and more of a team, the bond just grows.

301
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: You start feeding off each other, reading each other.

302
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: Wow. It's insanely fascinating.

303
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the science behind it, but it's really the

304
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: science is a warmth and I love.

305
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's the process for someone actually getting a dog?

306
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 7: If somebody feels like they need one right now, how

307
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 7: do they get into this program?

308
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: Well, you start by going onto Knine fourriers dot org

309
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: and that's where you'll have your your application process. It

310
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't take very long for them to get back to

311
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: me with mine, So yeah, that's that's the first step.

312
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: Okay, how many dogs have you trained?

313
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 6: I am on number I believe thirty two?

314
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: Wow?

315
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, how many do you keep?

316
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: Though?

317
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 6: I want to take all of them home? It's really

318
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 6: that's one of the toughest parts is having to give

319
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 6: them up. You definitely give a little piece of your

320
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: heart with every dog. It is so incredibly worth it.

321
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 5: Well, were there any that you were like, yeah, this

322
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 5: one I may have to ape right now.

323
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure there are people. Absolutely, you're still great dogs,

324
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: which is not for this job.

325
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: See, you just said something, Hannah, and I'm sure Adam

326
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: will agree and Froggy as well.

327
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: You guys too.

328
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: You just said a little piece of your heart goes

329
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: with them. That has to be a major part of

330
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: this training process. It's not just you know, if light's green,

331
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: you'd walk, if light's red, you stop. No, no, no,

332
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: You're talking about human beings, emotions, breathing, living people and

333
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: the connection with a dog that's going to save them

334
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: and they're going to save each other. That must be

335
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: an amazing, amazing day at the office for you.

336
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 5: It is.

337
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 6: It is so incredible And the amount of effort we

338
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: put into properly pairing these dogs with our veterans is immense.

339
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 6: I mean, they go through the application process and they

340
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 6: send us their profile, so they give us everything about

341
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 6: their life. When they come into the campus that we

342
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: have for them to come stay at, we do another

343
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 6: interview process with them, so we get to talk to

344
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 6: them one on one basically asking any questions of has

345
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 6: anything changed in your life, what are your goals with

346
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 6: your service dog? You know, obviously each dog has their

347
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 6: own personality, has their own strengths and weaknesses, So we

348
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 6: want to make sure that we are pairing the dog

349
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 6: best with the warrior that is going to suit their lifestyle.

350
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 6: So I think that that is really really important and

351
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 6: that bond just comes so much quicker with that amount

352
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: of effort. And if I may, I'll explain some science

353
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 6: behind it. Yes, please do so if you notice you

354
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 6: started tearing up a little bit, Miss Raven wanted to

355
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 6: go say hi to you. So the science behind a

356
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 6: service dog is our cortisol levels are our stress hormones.

357
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 6: They can actually smell the changes and those levels. So

358
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 6: in a PTSD episode or an anxiety attack, when our

359
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 6: warriors are in public, their cortisol levels shoot through the roof.

360
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 6: When that happens, the dog actually smells it, so they'll

361
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: immediately go into action. And a lot of the time,

362
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 6: you know, once they've been graduated and we're atom is

363
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 6: right now with they really start to get to know

364
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 6: their warrior.

365
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: And what they need.

366
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 6: So if they're shopping at a grocery store and they

367
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 6: feel that cortisol level go up and you know the

368
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 6: person is standing up, they're shopping at an aisle, they're

369
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 6: going to put themselves into a look queue, which they

370
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 6: will sit on the opposite side here and watch their

371
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 6: warriors back. If they are sitting down somewhere and they

372
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 6: are starting to feel like that, they will instantly put

373
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 6: themselves into my lap. That is our pressure therapy queue.

374
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 6: It works similar to a weighted blanket, so they'll put

375
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 6: all of their weight with their forearms onto your lap

376
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 6: and it helps bring our warriors back to the present moment.

377
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: Right, and it just happens, Yeah, you made it. You

378
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: don't even know that you're you're entering a danger zone. Right,

379
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: But the dog does she Dooper's in right.

380
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, There's been a couple of times where she's literally

Speaker 2: Mad Hannah, can you treat teach people to do this?

385
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,560
