The Marshall Legacy Institute’s Canine Ambassador, MDD Rico Cosby, has released his first book. Rico Cosby: The Heroic Work of a Mine Detection Dog, tells the story of Rico’s training and life in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Rico will be accompanied by his human, Anne Wooleyhand, Educational Programs Director at The Marshall Legacy Institute (Rico’s handler and author of the book).
Note: Rico (and Anne) will have some copies for sale at our event!
As a young puppy, MDD Rico never imagined that he would become a hero dog. He saved countless lives by sniffing out landmines in Bosnia-Herzegovina. After working for six years with his human handler, Rico retired and moved to the United States. Now eight years old, MDD Rico works as the Canine Ambassador for the Marshall Legacy Institute. Rico visits schools and organizations to raise awareness of the humanitarian impact of landmines and to demonstrate how dogs like him are working every day to save lives.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to sponsor a life-saving mine detection dog!
