Two dozen Navy SE a Ls descended on Osama bin Laden's compound in May 2011. After the mission only one name was made public: Cairo a Belgian Malinois and military working dog. This is Cairo's story and that of his handler Will Chesney a SEAL Team Operator whose life would be irrevocably tied to Cairo's. Starting in 2008, when Will was introduced to the SEAL canine program he and Cairo worked side by side depending on each other for survival on hundreds of critical operations in the war on terrorism. But their bond transcended their service. Then in 2011, the call came: Pick up your dog and get back to Virginia. Now. What followed were several weeks of training for a secret mission. It soon became clear that this was no ordinary operation. Cairo was among the first members of the U.

As Cairo settled into a role as a reliable spare dog Will went back to his job as a Devgru operator until a grenade blast in 2013 left him with a brain injury and PTSD. Unable to participate in further missions he suffered from crippling migraines chronic pain memory issues and depression. Modern medicine provided only modest relief. Instead it was up to Cairo to save Will's life once more and then up to Will to be there when Cairo needed him the most.
