Awesome Human-Dog Team
Captain Jim Boggeri,
a Type I advanced FEMA certified canine search specialist
and his partner, Reno
Please join our own Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori on Wednesday evening, March 16, at 9 PM Eastern Time, when they interview fire captain and search dog handler Jim Boggeri from the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, which right now has six dog/human teams searching for survivors in Japan. He’ll be bringing listeners up to date on what’s happening with the teams, and sharing his experiences as a search dog handler.
Boggeri is a captain with the Marin County Fire Department in the San Francisco Bay Area, a Type I advanced FEMA certified canine search specialist and a member of FEMA ASAR Task Force 4.
He joined forces with Recon, a yellow Lab, in 2001. Since then, they have responded to numerous disasters, including Hurricanes Rita and Katrina in 2005 as well as Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008. Jim recently added a second canine to the team, another yellow Lab named Nino, with whom he is currently working toward certification.
Our friends at PetHobbyist.com (now ConnectedByPets.com) have offered their Thirteenth Annual Chat Month venue to host the 30-minute radio interview, which will be streamed over the Animal Wise Radio Network.
If you’d like to ask Jim questions during the interview, which he will be able to respond to on the air, join other listeners in the Auditorum chat room.
You can find more information on listening, including how to tune in on your mobile device, here.
