1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show yesterday.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: Of course, with Veterans Day, we have a firm belief

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: that every day should be Veterans Day, just saying, just saying,

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: you know, yesterday in Jacksonville, Froggy was that to this amazing,

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: amazing event for canines for warriors. You want to talk

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: about it.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we raised one point two million dollars yesterday for

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: service animals for our veterans and had the chance to

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: talk to some veterans, had the chance to make some

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: puppy dog friends, which is always a good time. I

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: made the best friend with this service dog named Ben.

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: He just had this look in his eyes and he

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: crawled up in my lap, seventy eight pounds Golden Retriever,

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: and he just cuddled with me and I hugged his

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: little head in his face. He was so sweet. And

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 3: then to watch them work, and that's what they're doing

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: when they put the vests on. The animals are at work,

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 3: and when their warrior tells them make a friend, they

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: know that it's okay to be pet And it is

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: incredible to watch how smart these animals are and what

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: they do while the warder is speaking to us. The

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: animal gets kind of behind them and watches their six

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: as they call it, their blind side, because that's what

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: they're doing. They are working, and they are there to

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: help the veteran live their life that they have not

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: been able to because of things that have happened in

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: the military.

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: I learned a long time ago in the world of

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: dogs that dogs love many things. One thing, one thing

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: they really truly love is having a job. It's true.

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: I mean, you have dogs that are at airports running

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: birds off the runways to keep the planes from crash.

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: You have dogs sniffing, sniffing through all sorts of tragedy.

34
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: Looking for life on a farm, hurting everybody.

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, my dogs, my dogs have jobs. The Schnauzers,

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: they just crap on the floor. That's all they do. Oh,

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: mine has the same job. So walking in the room

Speaker 2: now about there are a big Canine for Warriors event

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville yesterday. It was pretty wild. I will read

47
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: you a couple of stats. Every single day in the US,

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: roughly twenty twenty veterans die by suicide, and at the

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: same time, every day in America, over one thousand dogs

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: are euthanized. Oh and you'd wonder, if you're just turning

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: us on right now, Well, what do these two have

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: in common? We're talking about veterans and dogs, absolutely so

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: knowing that there needs to be an end to veterans suicide,

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Canines for Warriors is providing highly trained service dogs, many

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: of them rescues being saved themselves to military veterans nationwide

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: suffering from the wounds of war PTSD traumatic brain injuries,

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: military sexual trauma.

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: The list goes on, as they call it, saving lives

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: at both ends of the leash. I just I love

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: that it's true. So, Adam, Adam, you were with US

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: Air Force how long?

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: Twelve years? Twelve years and when you got out you

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: got hit with PTSD hard. Yeah, right, just describe if

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: you want, like what happened about.

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 6: Eighteen months after I had come home, I started experiencing

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 6: all these different symptoms. Mostly started it started revolving around sleep, right,

67
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: and from there it snowballed into panic attacks. It's snowboled

68
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 6: into putting a lot of restrictions on myself because I

69
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 6: started getting nervous by going out in public, and you know,

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 6: that path led into a very dark, dark place where

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 6: I found myself on the verge of committing suicide.

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: Right.

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 6: And I had gone to an event and there was

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 6: some of his dogs there. It was an NFL thing,

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 6: and I had gone over and asked the folks who

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 6: had their dogs, and I just asked them. I was like,

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 6: is it as great as they say? It's meeting dogs

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 6: helping people, right exactly? And it was a very short answer,

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 6: and it's like absolutely. And so I want to say

80
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 6: it's maybe a month later, after learning more about the foundation,

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 6: that I took the step and I applied, and quickly

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 6: after that I was approved. And that's when I guess

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 6: you can say that the healing really started beginning.

84
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: And it's a miracle how it happens, right, Absolutely, And

85
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: I've heard many different people in your position and close

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: to your position tried to describe how it worked, and

87
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: no one could really put it into words. How's there's

88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: no way to describe it. In some ways, it just

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: trust me, it works absolutely.

90
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 6: You know, become a team and you know that's two ways, right,

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 6: So we both have to look after each other, right

92
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 6: and and it just strengthens that bond so much.

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Which in such an honor to have you here with Cooper.

94
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: Thank you. How long have you been with Cooper? Two

95
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: years almost to the day, right? Have you ever had

96
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: dogs before me you're growing up or yeah? Yeah, yeah,

97
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: but did you ever look at a dog at that

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: point in your life to be a healer in your life?

99
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: You just you always knew life was better with a

100
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: dog around, of course, without doubt. Of course, I can

101
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: be honest with I love each and every one of

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: you here. I'd rather be home with my dogs. No

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: offense yet, I'd dogs, yeah, Danielle.

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: So can you tell us a little bit about what

105
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: Cooper actually does for you?

106
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: Sure? Uh?

107
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 6: So, Cooper is my lifeline. So we were able to

108
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 6: go out in public together. I don't have a lot

109
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 6: of those you know, those fears that inevitably cause a

110
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 6: lot more of those symptoms when you're in public, you know,

111
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 6: the fear of having a setback or a panic attack

112
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 6: in public, right, it after a while, it keeps you home.

113
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 5: Uh.

114
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 6: And so this was a way for me to start

115
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 6: get back and reclaiming a lot of those freedoms that

116
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 6: I had taken away from myself.

117
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: So Cooper looks after him. Yeah, I love that Cooper

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: sees things we don't see. Yeah. And so if Cooper

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: sees you getting all nervousness a situation or having anxiety,

120
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: Cooper rolls in and goes, okay, exactly?

121
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 4: Is it like like I watched on Instagram these dogs

122
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: that like if someone needs medication or the dog can

123
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: sense if someone's about to, you know, have a medical emergency,

124
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: and the dog like opens the door for them or

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: grabs their medication.

126
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah. Right, if you don't see it,

127
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: but Cooper is wrapped around Adam's yeah ankles, Right, is

128
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: so cute? Cute?

129
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: How how I know that? He says, please don't touch me,

130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm a service dog. How many people ignore that and

131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: come touch the dog?

132
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: It's it's unbelievable how many people just ignore it? And

133
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: she's off?

134
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: And then I was told I was allowed to make

135
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: a friend.

136
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can put as many patches on a dog's

137
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 6: best as you want to. You, but there are people

Speaker 6: just come by like who doggy cute?

139
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: But how detrimental is that to the dog?

140
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: She learns to be resilient to it, you know, more

141
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: more times than not.

142
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,360

Speaker 2: a second, but there's something I've got to do. So, Froggy,

160
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: you were at the big event yesterday, right.

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, where we raised one point two million dollars,

162
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: which I'm just I'm so proud of people that just

163
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: want to give back and help such an incredible organization.

164
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: You were the one who said, by the way, Elvis,

165
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: you you have. You have contributed to two dogs being

166
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: trained and saved. You have, and you never named them.

167
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, uh, those animals need names. Yes, we must,

168
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: we must, so we have to name at least one today.

169
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: If you have two names, we'd be great, But we

170
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: have one. So I mean I would choose a name

171
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: like Puddles or something stupid. We shouldn't use puddles. Hannah's

172
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: Puddles a bad name. Froggy. I want to show you something. Okay,

173
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read this to you. There's a plaque here.

174
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: It says, we proudly bestow names upon two canine for warriors,

175
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: especially trained service dogs, so that they may now share

176
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: their love and healing with two of our nation's veterans. So,

177
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: in memory of Rocky and in honor of your dog Rex,

178
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: with love, two dogs named for canins for warriors. So

179
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if any even know of it. Uh Rocky,

180
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: Rocky left, uh Froggy and Lisa not too long ago,

181
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: and I was thinking, all the work you do with

182
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: Canines for Warriors, what an incredible, incredible thing we could

183
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: do to name one Rocky and Rex, who's still alive

184
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: and doing great. We'll find it. We'll find a dog

185
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: for Rex as well. So congratulations. Oh my god, we

Speaker 2: and to get them done, get them through the system.

210
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

211
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely so. Raven is one of our service dogs in training.

212
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 5: She is now Rocky.

213
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: Of course, we've named Raven Rocky. Do you want to do?

214
00:10:59,800 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 4: You?

215
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: She's so pretty frog?

216
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: Do you wanna do you want to see Raven? I

217
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: do want to see Raven. How do we do this?

218
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. The camera you have to bring that

219
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: down here. This is gonna be kind of wild. You're

220
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: now seeing Rocky. This, this is Rocky.

221
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: Oh, she's so sweet, I'm telling you, and I always

222
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: say this, and everybody loves their dog. Rocky was the

223
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: greatest dog I ever had in my whole life, and

224
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: so for for that to be Rocky means everything to me.

225
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: And Rocky really Rocky would have been a great service dog. Rex, oh,

226
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: Rex not so much fabulous. So to be able to

227
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: carry on Rocky's name and know that he is going

228
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: to help someone means just you have no idea how

229
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: much that means. Wow, God, Lista is going to be

230
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: so thrilled.

231
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 5: Oh, it is such an honor Froggy. We are so

232
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: so happy to name her in honor of your dog.

233
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. As I have a question.

234
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: Yes, so she's been trained for a while and she's

235
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: been trained as Raven. So how to she transitioned now

236
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: to Rocky?

237
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, great question. So we do a game called name Wreck. Basically,

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 5: it's a lot of back and forth. There's a lot

239
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: of treats involved. You use their new name as they

240
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 5: are coming towards you. You reinforce that, and then you

241
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: kind of move into a different type of focus game

242
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: where you say their name. If they look up at you,

243
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 5: you say our marker, which is called yes, and then

244
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: you reinforce with a treat. Usually with most dogs, it's

245
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: within a couple of days they'll pick up on it

246
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: because you know, they of course love the cookies. That

247
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 5: makes it much easier, and you know, for the dogs

248
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 5: that struggle a little bit more with it. It's really

249
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 5: only up to just a couple of weeks. So we

250
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: like to sponsor them about two months or so before

251
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: they go to class, so we make sure we have

252
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 5: enough time to really set that name in. You know,

253
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: we send you, guys, lots of sponsor updates, so you'll

254
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 5: hear from Raven, you'll get some photos from us.

255
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

256
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: Wow, So his name is Scary, that's his name. I've

257
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: never been crazy about it. If we got a Hamburger,

258
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: you can start training. Can't we just name him Carl.

259
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 4: I don't think it would take much for him.

260
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 2: So I mean, so, Hannah, here's pie. That'll work. So

261
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: Hannah working with these dogs, do you also work with

262
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: the veterans as well to line them? For instance? Adam,

263
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: I mean, what was it a lot of work to

264
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: really get to know Cooper and understand how to drive Cooper?

265
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I mean the instruction manual must

266
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: be thick, oh my gosh.

267
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 5: Yeah.

268
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: But they prepare you. They do a very good job

269
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: of preparing you for what's to come. Excuse me.

270
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 6: You know, once you get off that bus, right and

271
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 6: it's just you and the dog, you know, that's when

272
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 6: the bonding really really starts. You know, they bring for

273
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 6: three weeks, they bring you down there and they introduce you,

274
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: and there was a really intense bonding process every day,

275
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 6: multiple hours, eight hours a day. You're just and you

276
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 6: always have the dog attached to you no matter where

277
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 6: you are. You know, this is a lot of work

278
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 6: for everyone, it is, including the dog, and just naturally

279
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 6: over time, as you guys become more and more of

280
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 6: a team, the bond just grows. You start feeding off

281
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 6: each other, reading each other.

282
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 2: Wow. It's insanely fascinating. I mean, the science behind it,

283
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: but it's really the science is a warmth and I love.

284
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the process for someone actually getting a dog?

285
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: If somebody feels like they need one right now, how

286
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: do they get into this program?

287
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 6: Well, you start by going onto Knine fourriers dot org

288
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 6: and that's where you'll have your your application process. It

289
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 6: didn't take very long for them to get back to

290
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 6: me with mine, So yeah, that's that's the first step.

291
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: Wow.

292
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: Okay, how many dogs have you trained?

293
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 5: I am on number I believe thirty two?

294
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: Wow?

295
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, how many do you keep?

296
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: Though?

297
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: I want to take all of them home? It's really

298
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 5: that's one of the toughest parts is having to give

299
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: them up. You definitely give a little piece of your

300
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 5: heart with every dog, but it is so incredibly worth it.

301
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: Well, were there any that you were like, yeah, this

302
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 4: one may have to eat.

303
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: Them right now? I'm sure there are people. Absolutely, you're

304
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: still great dogs, which is not for this job. See,

305
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: you just said something, Hannah, and I'm sure Adam will

306
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: agree and Froggy as well. You guys too, you just

307
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: said a little piece of your heart goes with them.

308
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: That has to be a major part of this training process.

309
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: It's not just you know, if light's green, you'd walk,

310
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: if light's red, you stop. No, no, no, You're talking

311
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: about human beings, emotions, breathing, living people and the connection

312
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: with a dog that's going to save them and they're

313
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: going to save each other. That must be an amazing,

314
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: amazing day at the office for you.

315
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 6: It is.

316
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 5: It is so incredible, And the amount of effort we

317
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 5: put into properly pairing these dogs with our veterans is immense.

318
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 5: I mean, they go through the application process and they

319
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 5: send us their profile, so they give us everything about

320
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: their life when they come into the campus that we

321
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 5: have for them to come stay at we do another

322
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 5: interview process with them, so we get to talk to

323
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: them one on one, basically asking any questions of has

324
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: anything changed in your life? What are your goals with

325
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: your service dog? You know, obviously each dog has their

326
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: own personality, has their own strengths and weaknesses, So we

327
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: want to make sure that we are pairing the dog

328
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 5: best with the warrior that is going to suit their lifestyle.

329
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: So I think that that is really really important and

330
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: that bond just comes so much quicker with that amount

331
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: of effort. And if I may, I'll explain some science

332
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: behind it.

333
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: Yes, please do so if you notice.

334
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: You started tearing up a little bit, Miss Raven wanted

335
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 5: to go say hi to you. So the science behind

336
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 5: a service dog is our cortisol levels are our stress hormones.

337
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: They can actually smell the changes and those levels. So

338
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 5: in a PTSD episode or an anxiety attack, when our

339
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 5: warriors are in public, their cortisol levels shoot through the roof.

340
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: When that happens, the dog actually smells it, so they'll

341
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 5: immediately go into action. And a lot of the time,

342
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: you know, once they've been graduated and we're atom is

343
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 5: right now with Cooper, they really start to get to

344
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 5: know their warrior and what they need. So if they're

345
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: shopping at a grocery store and they feel that cortiso

346
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 5: level will go up and you know, the person is

347
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 5: standing up. They're shopping at an aisle, They're going to

348
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: put themselves into a look queue, which they will sit

349
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 5: on the opposite side here and watch their warriors back.

350
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 5: If they are sitting down somewhere and they are starting

351
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 5: to feel like that, they will instantly put themselves into

352
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 5: my lap. That is our pressure therapy queue. It works

353
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: similar to a weighted blanket, so they'll put all of

354
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 5: their weight with their forearms onto your lap and it

355
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: helps bring our warriors back to the present moment.

356
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: Right, and it just happens. Yeah, you made it. You

357
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: don't even know that you're you're entering a danger zone,

358
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: but the dog does. She HER's in right. Yeah.

359
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: There's been a couple of times where she's literally just

360
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: pulled me out of a room, you know, I mean

361
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 6: literally just you're coming with me and I'm in charge

362
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: for the moment.

363
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: Hannah, can you treat to teach people to do this?

364
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: I guess that's why Rocky was so nice to me,

365
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: because I work with you people, I'm allls stressed. Well,

366
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,080
