Episode 189: How to Show Up & Never Play Small with Chris Bingham & K9 Tambo

In this powerful episode,my guest is Chris Bingham, a federal law enforcement officer with 23 years of service and 17 years as a K-9 handler.  In this heartfelt conversation, Chris shares his journey with Tambo, his retired K9 partner, who is battling cancer.  K9 Tambo is a remarkable 11-year-old German Shepherd whose life has been defined by dedication, courage, and service. Born with a strong working drive and intelligence, Tambo was selected early on for a career in law enforcement as an Explosive Detection K9 within the Federal Police’s Law Enforcement Intelligence Community. Over the course of approximately seven years, Tambo distinguished himself as an invaluable asset in one of the East Coast’s busiest and most successful K9 units. Discover how Project K9 Hero, a national nonprofit founded by Jason Johnson, has twice saved Tambo's life - first funding surgery for an ACL tear, and later emergency surgery when Tambo faced a life-threatening ruptured mass on his spleen. This episode explores the profound, unspoken bond between handler and canine, the challenges facing retired service dogs, and one man's mission to be "a voice for the voiceless." A must-listen for dog lovers and anyone who appreciates stories of loyalty, service, and the fight against all odds.
