Trident K9 Warriors My Tale from the Training Ground to the Battlefield with Elite Navy Seal Canines

Mike Ritland saw a military working dog in action and instantly knew he'd found his true calling. Ritland started his own company training and supplying dogs for the SEAL teams, U.S. Government, and Department of Defense.
