What?

Yeah.

In her career, and she lived to be 13, but she was operational from about three to about 11.

And Mike goes, "We gotta talk about this." He goes, [laughs] "I don't know war dogs, you know, that have numbers like that." And I go, "You know, Mike, it was a trial and error.

Brian worked for three and a half years, hardcore with Shasta County, making mistakes to work in hot conditions like that, keep quiet.

But Phoebe was that one in a million dog, man, and she bit like gold- like the Goldilocks, not too hard, not too soft.

Took down a lot of bad guys, took a lot of knife strikes and hit in the head, and had a couple, like 11 lives of a cat and survived a lot of stuff where we couldn't deploy her quite as far." But, um, she ended up finding on Whiskeytown National Park Trail in Shasta County, a national park, there was a grow in it, but on the main trail going to the grow, several hundred yards before you even get to the grow on a public trail that people hike, recreationalists.

How are they hiding that much weed?

Hmm.

Um, and they're nerve agents.

They're anticoagulants to keep rodents, to keep insects, to keep anybody off the plants.

And so the cartels wanna use that even, no matter how deadly it is to consume 'cause if they spray that on the flower and on the bud or put it in the water source below, nothing's gonna touch that plant.

A bear, a deer, one of us, you know, a rabbit is gonna go and sip up some water or try to eat on that, and within a couple minutes they're frothing at the mouth and their central nervous system- Holy crap ... and heart just stops.

Very ugly way to see an animal die.

So we're seeing all this dead wildlife.

No.

Good Lord.

The plants were a lot bigger at this point.

They weren't quite mature, but it was a lot of work.

I got to experience that.

And then we're chopping all the plants, and I had asked the task force commander before that, right when we got in and the grow was clear, I said, hey, if we're not going to eradicate right away, you have any issue if I go just try to track these guys the way they went? I kind of know this creek, and my guy really knows it.

He said, no, just go do what you do.

We don't have time to, you know, chase and try to apprehend, but go ahead, whatever you need to do.

Mm-hmm.
