    A young man wearing a gray t-shirt, black shorts, and black Converse sneakers is crouching on a concrete surface interacting with a white Labrador Retriever. The dog is lying down on the pavement and is connected to the man via a red leash with a matching red collar. The setting appears to be an outdoor urban or residential area.

    Lance Cpl. Andrew Childress, a native of Shorewood, Minn., and currently assigned to Wounded Warrior Battalion West, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, enjoys a lighthearted moment with Kea, a service dog with the Hawaii Fi Do during a dog training session Sept. 23. Every Friday, the Marines from the Wounded Warrior Battalion meet with dogs from Fi Do in order to learn how to train dogs, which in turn translates into a form of therapy for the Marines that are rehabilitating from physical or mental scars as a result of their deployments to Afghanistan.
