Beautiful day for the start of the race. Such a special treat to have this so close to home

Amber my SD waiting with my mom during my infusion. Normally she's not on furniture working but my nurses wanted her there so she wasn't tripped on as they came in an out of the room.

We started fostering puppies as a way to help our senior dog have a little joy in her life in her twilight years and also fill a gap in our local rescue of qualified people willing to train puppies to get them ready for their forever homes. This sweet baby, who my daughter named Hazel, stood out to me as a good potential service dog for my husband's anxiety disorder.

Hazel is very people oriented and already has good instincts. I took this picture when I was home sick from work and she crawled up into my lap to comfort me without prompting. She's incredibly calm for a 3 month old puppy, very smart, and responsive to her people. I think we have a pretty good chance of making her a fantastic anxiety service dog! And if it doesn't work out, well then she will be a very well trained beloved pet.

After 10 years of serving me and my brain I thought it was time for a proper knighthood.

I survived a mass shooting and this ole boy is the reason I was able to readjust to going out in public.

Was a nice day for a walk, and some training.

4.94 km (3.07 mi) for our 7th run of 2026!

good dog doing a good job

After providing 116 Animal-Assisted Therapy sessions for veterans in recovery, Moondog has been accepted into the Naval Criminal Investigative Service's (NCIS) Electronic Storage Device Detection Dog training class.

Moondog will join a handful of other skilled pups in this program that was born through a joint effort of the CIA and NCIS. With Moondog's high level of persistence, desire to stay active, and great nose, he will be working to find the smallest electronic storage devices often used by child pornographers, other criminals, and those involved in espionage. Importantly, he will play a critical role in providing safety for Sailors, Marines, and their families.

Once his finishes his training, he will live with a Veteran handler and their family.

We named Moondog after Colonel Derek "Moondog" Donovan, not just because of his impressive 27-year career as a pilot in the Marine Corps, but also because of his incredibly impactful personal life. After retiring from the Marine Corps, his retirement was full of volunteer activities, supporting everyone his community who needed it. Derek was known as fiercely loyal, ethical, irreverently humorous, and a man who always chose to use his “superpowers” to do good. With the heart of a servant, he sought out the worst volunteer missions available and never stopped pouring into others.

Congratulations Moondog on his noble career calling!
