What happens when a retired police K9 becomes a symbol of hope for thousands battling cancer, grief, and impossible odds?

In this emotional episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich sits down with law enforcement leader Chris Bingham to share the incredible story of his retired K9 partner, Tambo. What began as a difficult partnership turned into a life-changing bond built on trust, loyalty, resilience, and healing.

Together, they discuss the lifesaving work of Project K9 Hero and why retired police and military dogs deserve continued care after service.
