Thank you so much to @DevonEnergy for sponsoring Pepper! The Passing of the Leash today from #GroundZero to Lt Jeff Hanlon with @okcfire & #Oklahoma #TaskForce 1 was so special. Hardly a dry eye in the house. This is our 32nd leash passing. @Barry_Switzer

We depend so much on our sponsors & supporters! Today we want to give a big shout out to Peggy & Kris Yates plus their crew! Today Midwest Wrecking Co- Oklahoma delivered more rubble on which our dogs & handlers can train. It helps us simulate REAL disaster scenarios. 🐾
