On this episode of the I Dare You Podcast, we welcome Alfred Brenner, a former Marine Corps K9 Handler whose life took a dramatic turn in 2010. After completing Marine Corps Boot Camp at Paris Island, Alfred's path led him to Military Police School and eventually to become a K9 Handler, training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas. While deployed in 2010, Sgt. Brenner was severely injured by an IED explosion that tragically took the life of his K9 partner, Grief. Through numerous surgeries and months of physical recovery, Alfred discovered that the emotional pain of losing his partner far outweighed his physical wounds. It was during this healing journey that he found his new purpose. Before medically retiring from the Marines, Alfred made one final contribution by helping train the next generation of handlers. Today, his mission has transformed into sharing his powerful experiences as a handler and inspiring others with his message of resilience and how to "Survive with Grief".
