Franklin

The Man Behind The United States Commando Dogs

By: Matthew Duffy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In June of 1991, Jeffrey Scott Franklin received his first tutorial on aggressive working dogs from me. Jeff was not yet twenty years old when we first met. He had just returned home from active duty as a Marine Tank Operator during the Desert Storm War. Franklin worked closely with me as a professional dog-trainer for more than a decade while serving as a K-9 Officer, before he was once again called to duty by his country. Whether he knew it or not, Jeff committed to making history in 2004 when he agreed to develop a "top tier" Canine Commando program for the preeminent branch of the United States Military. Franklin's dog-training skills were put to the test as he turned extraordinary dogs and exceptional men into the world's foremost K-9 combat teams. Developing his own canine-selection criteria and training protocols, Jeff created the ultimate war-dog for the "high octane" demands of covert operations. Follow the Commando Dogs into battle as they confront terrorists and revolutionaries deep into hostile territory. Subduing the enemy while fighting against the odds is what Franklin's specialized teams due best. This is a narrative about the enduring relationship between man and dog. This is a story of "good" against "evil." This is the dramatic tale of my friend, Jeffrey Scott Franklin.
