BIO:
Bob Bryant is the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Mission K9 Rescue, an animal welfare group dedicated solely to rescuing, reuniting, rehoming, repairing, and rehabilitating American working dogs. Mission K9 Rescue (MK9) is based out of Houston, TX and has saved more than 1100 dogs and reunited over 540 with former military handlers since 2013. “These loving dogs make absolutely wonderful pets,” says Bob. “For example, Ti, a Mine Detection Dog who did work in Bosnia, our latest dog available for adoption, is such a good, calm, and sweet girl who loves affection — when you stop petting her she’ll put her head in your hands!” But the transformation from MWD or CWD to loving forever home isn’t always a smooth one, either for the dogs themselves or for those who wish to adopt them. “That’s where Mission K9 steps in,” says Bob.
