It was great to meet Treo (Black dog) and his handler Dave just before Christmas. The journey that those two have been on is incredible! I read the book Its all about Treo and was honoured to meet the pair behind the inspiring book. The other dog is my parents dog Bonnie! The book is an incredible true story of the unbreakable bond forged between Treo, the world’s most highly decorated dog, and his handler Sgt. Dave Heyhoe, whilst doing the most dangerous job on earth – sniffing out bombs in Afghanistan. Dave, known to his fellow soldiers as ‘the Dog Whisperer’ and Treo were sent forwards, alone and unprotected, to detect the Taliban’s murderous IEDs. Soon soldiers refused to patrol certain areas unless accompanied by Treo, and the pressure on the duo became ever more intense. Dave and Treo would realise they needed each other more than they could have ever imagined.
