Mike Drop

Training an animal to move, obey, and communicate effectively is no easy feat - especially when you're serving at the Tip of the Spear. That's where SEAL Team Seven Canine Handler Chris Cappa met Mickey anyway - a scrappy pup that would go on to become an absolute beast on deployment, snagging bites and catching bombs for nearly every op he went on. Of course, that's only part of the story, and finding out the full weight of the military's might in the wake of the coronavirus scare, traveling to foreign lands for plant-based medicines, and joining the Warrior Dog Foundation's new Home with Handlers program all play a part. Just take it from Chris.  ---------- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:10 - From SEAL Team 10 to SEAL Team 7 07:11 - Mickey's First Bite 19:55 - Training for Targeted Bitework 30:00 - Dampened Deployment 35:40 - LPO of the MPC  42:59 - No Shot For Me, Thanks 50:56 - Haircuts and Mustaches 54:19 - What Would Have Been Next? 01:03:06 - Ibogaine and Plant-Based Medicines 01:21:50 - The Warrior Dog
