About this episode
A police K9 given weeks to live walked onto an NFL field to a standing ovation—and reminded us why hope is a strategy. We sit down with Chris to trace Tambo’s journey from a sudden ER scare and a brutal hemangiosarcoma diagnosis to a rare break in the odds, immediate chemotherapy, and a plan built on grit, joy, and relentless love. What starts as a private fight grows into a movement as Chris turns chemo days into themed “fight nights,” shares their road trips and recovery, and watches a community rally around a dog who keeps choosing life.
We go deep on what it means to reject fixed timelines and lead with intention. Chris breaks down the mind–body–spirit approach that keeps Tambo strong: top-tier oncology, hydrotherapy and rehab, therapeutic massage, tailored nutrition, active play, and a calm mindset. Along the way, messages pour in from patients and parents who draw strength from a shepherd’s wag and a handler’s voice. Media features, sold-out “Tambo Strong” shirts, and a “Defy the Odds” line help fund care and spread his story. The Philadelphia Eagles honor Tambo during their salute to service game; 70,000 fans rise as he barks at the camera, a live-action reminder that resilience is a daily choice.
