This week’s mini-post comes all the way from the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs where I’ve spent the last few days traveling around with Kennel Master Chris Jakubin and his team of handlers. I owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude for letting me crash their kennel and watch them work their dogs – Haus, Mack, Oli, Boda, and Benga. Special thanks also to the teams at Fort Carson, Buckley AFB, and the Colorado Springs Airport. It’s been an incredible week.
