Andrew Nies is from Midland, Michigan. In 2016, his Dad and sister were involved in a murder-suicide while he was at work. His Dad decided to put down his family dog without telling anybody else and it stirred up a ton of emotion. His sister had a difficult relationship with his Dad and a really close bond with their dog so this decision made her really upset. While emotions were flared she ended up grabbing a shotgun and shooting his Dad at point blank range, a couple hours later she took her on life at a nearby park. In the first part of this episode Andrew walks us through that night in vivid detail.

Despite losing his Dad and his sister in 2016, Andrew still has a positive attitude and outlook on life. Over the past couple of years, Andrew has taken the time to work on his mental and physical health. He hopes that his story and his recovery can inspire someone to get through a difficult situation they are facing.
