On this episode of Sunnyside of Freedom, Sunny sits down with Navy veterans and former Military Working Dog handlers Matt Tarlton and Angela Young, co-founders of Building Battle Buddies. After decades of service—including global deployments and working with elite military units—both Matt and Angela experienced the difficult transition out of the uniform. Through their own healing journeys and the powerful bond with their dogs, they discovered something life-changing: training rescue dogs can restore purpose, connection, and hope. Building Battle Buddies, founded in 2025 alongside Billy Skipper, pairs rescue dogs with Combat Veterans, Law Enforcement Officers, and First Responders in a 21-day immersive training program—designed to save two lives at once. This conversation is about invisible wounds, second chances, resilience, and what happens when loyalty and purpose collide. It’s about service after service—and proving that healing is possible. #VeteranStories #SunnysideOfFreedom #BreakStigmas #ServiceDogs #Healing #Purpose #NeverAlone #Resilience #AfterTheMilitary
