 This is military working dog Sony. He's a six-year-old German Shepherd. I work with him every day He is my dog, and I'm his handler. He doesn't have anybody else. We're just one team Yeah, as a military working dog handler, I provide pretty much military working dog support for the entire base that means explosive detection Psychological deterrents and stuff like that for all of the base So we get here around 4 a.m. For day shift we arm up we go to a guard mount we find out Any pass-ons that happened the night or the day before we go through our day? Consist of a lot of walking patrols a lot of physical detection for The base to be able to see my dog and I and then We're pretty much out there for the public to see us to make sure that we're here and that we can if needed We're there, right? And then we do that from four to about one and then from there We do our end-of-day stuff. So we come back we clean kennels clean the truck make sure the truck's clean And then he gets his exercise every day, too. So all those walking patrols will come out here. We'll hit the obedience course Sometimes we'll do training with the explosive kit or patrol training with decoys and bite work This course here is pretty standard across the DOD the course was originally destroyed So our kennel master sorry LG He went through the process to get us a new course So our dogs can stay properly trained for anything that they might encounter So if they need to cross a bridge or they need to go up a big flight of stairs without me or jump through a window they can for me I find it really Really kind of rewarding because you see all the work and stuff that you put in to these dogs and you apply it to what you do every day as a patrolman and You just see that all the work that you put in pays off First you start off as security forces and then from there After about a year or two you can apply to become Canine from there. It's an 11-week school house. You go through basic obedience with a dog You go through patrol So all the bite work and all that stuff and then you go through Detection so you learn how to search for explosives and narcotics with a dog You get to build a bond with this dog, right, so you come to work every day and You pretty much get the love on the dog and that love transfers over to your work, right? So I absolutely love my job. This is why I joined the Air Force was to go canine and then I followed through with that and Here I am just doing what I love and With someone that I love
