#1010B: Dr. Matt Brunke in Gaithersburg MD — who is board certified in veterinary sports medicine and in pain medicine — is rehab specialist for sports athletes, working dogs and aging dogs, often using the revolutionary joint injection Synovetin OA for long-lasting relief from arthritis. His most famous patient was Hurricane, the Secret Service dog who took down the intruder who breached the White House in 2014 when Barack Obama was President. The Belgian Malinois was medically retired from service in 2016 after sustaining injuries during that incident and Dr. Matt looked after him while he lived out the rest of his life to age 16 with his handler.

#1010A: One of the many service dog organizations to which RAWZ gives monetary support for training and placing service dogs is Patriot Service Dogs. Tracie was absolutely thrilled to be reunited with Brigadier General Scott Wiggins, who was featured with his magnificent dog Bear in one of the Service Dog Salute films in Tracie's NY Dog Film Festival. Bear came from Patriot Service Dogs and Scott talks about what the support from RAWZ means to an organization like Patriot Service Dogs and what dogs like Bear mean to veterans suffering from PTSD.

#1009B: Michelle Lerner's memoir "A Series of Opinionated Animals" is a funny and touching testament to the limitless patience and generosity of one woman — and her husband — in a lifetime of giving a loving home to all manner of animals, with dogs being high on the list.
