In this episode, Mike and Rami sit down with Dr. Jennifer Brown of Florida Task Force 2 and the FEMA Incident Support Team (IST). Jen shares her remarkable journey from working as an equine surgeon to becoming a canine sports medicine and rehabilitation veterinarian.

She offers insight into the development of her working Labrador breeding program, discussing what it takes to produce dogs capable of excelling not only in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) but across various working and performance disciplines.

We also dive into her history as a USAR handler, with an impressive record of six certified dogs since 2009, and hear about some of her most memorable deployments—both as a live-find and human-remains detection (HRD) handler.

It was an honor having Jen in the studio, and we’re confident listeners will be just as inspired by her experience, dedication, and passion as we were.
