Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
As Take Two rounds up its week long series on veterans, there's one group of service members that has not been talked about - canines on the battlefield.
Rebecca Frankel has written a whole book on these four-legged soldiers called "War Dogs: Tales of Canine Heroism, History, and Love." She's also a Senior Editor at Foreign Policy Magazine and she joins Technical Sargent Justin Kitts, who speaks with A Martinez about his own experience with his Military Working Dog - Dyngo - while stationed in Afghanistan.
