Once one of the world’s 2,100,000 active working dogs, Dakota, a German Shepherd who was part of the K-9 team involved in the search for the Boston Marathon bombers, is now struggling with PTSD. His rehabilitation initiated a journey with Jim LaMonte, a dog trainer whose relationship with Dakota inspired him to found the K9 PTSD Center in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Three years in the making, this film chronicles the connection between Jim and Dakota, as well as Jim’s efforts to address mental health issues in retired working dogs.
