U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Michael Phelan, a military police officer and working dog handler with Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific, poses for a picture with military working dog Graco, a 3-year-old German Shepherd patrol and explosive detection dog with direction control through obstacles on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, July 10, 2023.
“I am very blessed,” said Phelan, a 22-year-old Prior Lake, Minnesota native. “I have one of the best, if not the best job in the United States Marine Corps, because I get to come to work every day and there is a little four-legged friend that is just so beyond ecstatic to see me. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
Over the last three years Phelan has been the handler for two military working dogs. From 2020 to 2022, he was the handler for MWD Yyasko, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois patrol and explosive detection dog. Phelan is currently the handler for MWD Graco. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Tyler Andrews)
