## Resource

In this long-awaited intro episode, Rami and Mike sit down to share part 1 of the origin story behind the mission. Mike opens up about his careers, some team history, and the unexpected path that led him into the world of working dogs. It wasn't always a smooth ride—Mike shares the "humble" beginnings of owning a dog that literally ate the trim off his walls, and the journey of lessons learned that eventually led him to become the Canine Coordinator for IL-TF1.
