Listen now
Description
John Devine is a former US Navy SEAL, the US Navy’s special forces direct action unit. John has multiple deployments to warzones both in a direct combat capability as well as advising host nation forces in their fight against terrorism. After his first deployment John was trained as a K9 handler where he went on to complete more deployments to Afghanistan against the Taliban. He speculated that he and his dog found one of, if not the, largest explosive caches of the entire GWOT. Not something to sniff at! He now runs Devine K9s where he focuses on protection dogs for private individuals as well as training service dogs for Veterans as part of the Rescue 22 Foundation to save veterans from suicide. Despite his huge accomplishments and substantial experience, John is extremely humble and interesting to speak to and his passion for what he does is extremely evident.
