Discussion about Military War Dogs' use and training and, in particular, the recently released book No Ordinary Dog by Will Chesney with Joe Layden.  Chesney educates the reader about his exhaustive training as a Navy Seal followed by his involvement as the dog handler of Cairo, his Navy Seal trained dog. Cairo served on many missions in the Middle East with Chesney and became famous for being the only dog at the 2011 Bid Laden capture.  This discussion is held with Venice resident, Vietnam veteran, and Military War Dog handler, John F. Langley.
