The Hardest Two Weeks of My Life - War HOGG Words of Wisdom

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of War HOGG Words of Wisdom with Rick, as he shares the most emotional and challenging two weeks of his life, marking the end of June 2021. For those new to the show, meet Duco, Rick's combat assault dog, who passed away on July 5th, 2021, due to osteosarcoma. This episode dives deep into the bond between a handler and his canine partner, highlighting Duco's incredible service and the devastating loss that followed.

Rick recounts Duco's journey from an unexpected spare dog to the gold standard of assault dogs, saving lives on the battlefield and forming an unbreakable bond. The narrative explores the emotional rollercoaster of his cancer diagnosis, treatment, and the final days leading up to his peaceful passing after one last 4th of July celebration.

In honoring Duco's memory, Rick introduces the "In Honor of Duco" project, dedicated to ensuring no SWF canine handler has to make medical decisions based on finances. The episode emphasizes the importance of cherishing every moment with our beloved pets and the lasting impact they leave on our lives.

Join Rick in this touching tribute, celebrating Duco's life, his service, and the legacy he left behind. For more information and to support the In Honor of Duco project, visit warhogg.com.
