Troy got a bit emotional as he petted Gunny and told me “Any advice I could give to somebody. Gunny has made a difference in people’s lives. Troy continued “I’ve got to admit the last 9 years has been a journey. He’s on an experimental treatment to treat his bone density and control his pain.” Sadly Gunny did pass away after this story was taped. Troy explained “Come to find out he has Osteo Sarcoma Cancer. One of his favorites was being the mascot for Toys for Tots in Salt Lake. You may have seen him at various charity events around Utah throughout the years. Gunny’s winnings of $1000 were donated to Toys for Tots. I asked Troy to translate “When we walked out in front of the crowd, the crowd yelled loud enough that the dogs on the mountain started barking in return.” I leaned toward Gunny and asked him about getting a best dressed dog contest at Solider Hollows. Since I always hats in my story, I just so happen to be dressed in my drill instructor hat. Gunny’s first uniform was made from one of Grant’s old dress blue uniforms. Troy Grant served our country as a United States Marine. Help people get that little extra pull-up.” Gunny’s Driver, Troy Grant, told me “When we are working with the recruiters, we’ll put him in his drill instructor uniform and stick him by a pull up bar. Oh, by the way, Gunny is an Old English Bulldog. He barks out orders to me as I do more and more push-ups. Gunny is dressed in his drill instructor outfit and is pure muscle. When Gunny Monster tells you to drop and give me 20, you better listen.

Keeping with the theme of Canine Charisma, one of my favorite interviews has got to be with Gunny Monster. Watch the show and you’ll get to see the serenade. Come to find out that his dog likes country music. You may have seen a viral video with Chris and his dog singing on America’s Got Talent. Lucky for country music lovers, his friends convinced him to share it and the “rest is history.” The catch was he really didn’t want anyone to hear it because it was personal. Surprise, surprise…it was a song about a broken heart. Now that you’ve heard Chris sing, let’s find out the story behind the music…Īccording to Chris Petersen, “every phrase has a melody.” We talked about the first song he wrote. Here’s a hint for you…it is combination of a pocketknife and a dishwasher. It’s true that Chris drives a four-wheel drive RAM truck, but it’s not the right answer. One of my favorite stories is about how the song “Four Wheel Drive” came to be. I’m glad to say that Chris also gave us a taste of his singing. Chris Petersen certainly has some good stories to tell. In my personal opinion, country music is one of the most authentic venue for storytelling. One of my gigs was being a country music DJ.

I was a radio DJ for a number of years before moving to the TV side. It is my honor to feature musicians in this part of the show called “Jessop’s Jukebox.” If I can share that with everyone, I meet … get a dog.”Įveryone has a story and sometimes those stories are told through music. These animals can take you through a lot in life. “I would love it if every person learned the connection that I have with my dogs. You can be in a meeting and working from home and your dog is capable of laying on its bed for four hours. We forget how amazing they are and how capable they are of specific things.

Tip number three would be to have expectations on your dog.

Because our bodies say yes and then we feel bad, and we don’t follow through. Our body language speaks much better to the dog than our words do. “It’s three really complex things that can be really simple. I asked her “If you have three tips you could people with their dogs what would they be?” Watch the video of the show and you’ll see what I mean.įirst up is Joe Dickinson, the owner of Dog Training 360.
