Died 10/8/20

Our sincerest condolences former SEAL Mike Mike, who was MPC Carlos’ handler and owner after he retired. Mike had to say goodbye to Carlos today, after 15 amazing years of blessing this earth with his presence. I feel very honored to have had the pleasure of working that beast, as he was a K9 that was at the program when I was there as a trainer. He was one hell of a dog. He is draped in the flag that Mike carried with him on every operation with him, and still possessed Afghan dust as he unfolded it on him. He gave him his favorite last meal of steak before crossing the rainbow bridge, and our hearts are now much heavier having to say goodbye. Fair winds and following seas C-man, we have the watch from here buddy.
