Trident K9 Warriors gave readers an inside look at the SEAL
teams' elite K9 warriors—who they are, how they are trained,
and the extreme missions they undertake to save lives. From
detecting explosives to eliminating the bad guys, these
powerful dogs are also some of the smartest and highest
skilled working animals on the planet. Mike Ritland's job is
to train them.
This special edition re-telling presents the dramatic tale
of how Ritland discovered his passion and grew up to become
the trainer of the nation's most elite military working
dogs. Ritland was a smaller-than-average kid who was often
picked-on at school—which led him to spend more time with
dogs at a young age. After graduating BUD/S training—the
toughest military training in the world—to become a SEAL, he
was on combat deployment in Iraq when he saw a military
working dog in action and instantly knew he'd found his true
calling.
Ritland started his own company to train and supply working
and protection dogs for the U.S. Government, Department of
Defense, and other clients. He also started the Warrior Dog
Foundation to help retired Special Operations dogs live long
and happy lives after their service.
This is the true story of how Mike Ritland grew from a
skinny, bullied child, to a member of our nation's most
elite SEAL Teams, to the trainer of the world's most highly
skilled K9 warriors.
