The New Book by Mark & Mattis!
A Dog Named Mattis
Sergeant Mark Tappan shares the twelve lessons he's learned from his amazing K9 partner Mattis, whose heroic actions will remind readers to live courageously, serve selflessly, and love passionately because every human (and dog) has a purpose.
Sergeant Mark Tappan shares a unique bond with his K9 partner Mattis--one of the most decorated police K9s of all time--and knew from the first time they interacted that this dog was something special. As a man of deep faith, Mark also knew that God's most profound teaching often comes through the most unexpected sources--and he soon realized that Mattis was about to teach him a lot about building bridges and serving selflessly.
n A Dog Named Mattis, Mark shares the twelve life lessons he's learned from working with Mattis--such as, go all in, address your weaknesses, and listen first--and encourages others to apply those same principles to their own lives. Readers will also discover what kind of training police dogs and their handlers must go through, how a police dog is tested and selected, and understand the lengths a dog will go to in order to complete his mission.
