In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh Bitsko shares one of his favorite stories from his time in K9, Loki’s final find before retirement. What started as a routine search turned into a lesson about assumptions, trust, and the instincts that don’t lie.

Josh walks through the call, how Loki’s behavior told the truth long before the situation did, and the reminder every handler and leader needs: sometimes experience can blind you to what’s right in front of you.

This story is about more than policing. It’s about listening, trusting your instincts, and knowing when to let go of what you think you know.
