Rhea: OUR NEXT STORY EXPLORES
A MAN AND HIS DOG.
BUT HOLD ON... THIS IS
IT'S ABOUT LOYALTY,
OF ART.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Logan: DIEGO!
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
[LIGHT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
Logan: THE SAME DREAM AGAIN.
Narrator: BASED ON HIS 2006 TOUR
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOGAN
PARTNER DIEGO.
IT ALL STARTED IN 1996, WHEN,
LOGAN JOINED
IN 2004, IN DEFERENCE TO 9/11,
UNDERGRAD STUDIES AND WENT
BUT THERE WAS JUST ONE PROBLEM.
Logan: THE JOB I HAD THERE
MILITARY, SO THEY SAID,
AND MAKE YOU A COMBAT ENGINEER.
SO PRIMARILY DEALING WITH
AND THAT SORT OF THING.
IT'S A TERRIFYING JOB.
I FOUND OUT ABOUT A NEW DOG
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BRITISH
PERSONNEL BRANCH OF THE PENTAGON
RIGHT, FOR ENGINEERS?"
AND THEY SAID, "YEAH." AND I
AND TWO WEEKS LATER,
I FIRST MET DIEGO IN 2005 AS
COURSE IN FORT LAUDERDALE,
THESE GUYS HAD OVER 40 YEARS OF
AND THEY WERE GENIUSES.
ALL RIGHT, LADS!
WELCOME TO THE SPECIALIZED
OVER THE NEXT 14 WEEKS, YOU AND
OVER 40 INDIVIDUAL
IEDS, IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE
LETHAL WEAPON INSURGENTS ARE
AND THEY'RE DAMN GOOD AT IT.
Narrator: AS DESTINY WOULD
POSSIBLE DOGS, LOGAN WAS PAIRED
Logan: WE CLICKED INSTANTLY.
AND HE WAS SMART, SO SMART.
HE WOULD CHEAT.
ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH, DIEGO
THAN ANY OTHER DOG, AND I DON'T
IN 20 MINUTES.
I MEAN HE WOULD ALWAYS
AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THIS, RON
HIS SCENT TO WHERE HE
[LAUGHTER]
WE HAD TO START CHANGING UP
DIEGO WOULD JUST SEARCH.
OH, HE WAS THE PERFECT MIXTURE
AND INTELLIGENCE.
AND HIS NOSE...
Narrator: LOGAN AND DIEGO WERE
MAKING INCREDIBLE FINDS.
TOGETHER, THEY DISCOVERED
OF WEAPONS, EXPLOSIVES,
BECAUSE OF THE SPECIALIZED TASK
PART OF A SPECIFIC UNIT, INSTEAD
EVERYONE FROM THE SEALS
BUT THIS CONSTANT SHIFTING
ISOLATION.
Logan: THERE WAS
I'D DO A MISSION.
I'D GO BACK TO MY TRAILER, GET
I WAS LEFT ON MY OWN TO PROCESS
HAPPENING...
NO!
DIEGO, THIS WAY!
COME!
COME, COME,
[SMOOCHES] COME HERE.
COME HERE.
NO NO NO NO NO.
[SIGHS] [RADIO CRACKLES] MOVING
EVERY FIBER IN MY BODY IS
A CAR BOMB.
COME ON, BUDDY.
[SMOOCHES] WHAT'S THIS?
SO I KNOW WITHOUT HIM, HAD I
OR HAD I EVEN BEEN WITH A DOG
CONNECTION ON TOP OF THE
WORKING CONNECTION, I DON'T KNOW
HE ABSOLUTELY KEPT ME HEALTHY.
Narrator: WHEN THEIR TIME
DIEGO WAS TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER
KANSAS CITY TO PURSUE AN MFA IN
ALL THE WHILE TRYING IN VAIN TO
ELIGIBILITY.
THEY WOULD BE APART FOR SEVEN
IN 2012 AFTER LOGAN MOUNTED A
TO FIND HIS BELOVED BOY.
Logan: IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC.
I PICKED HIM UP THREE YEARS AGO
HE STILL WANTS TO WORK.
ALL OF HIS TRAINING IS STILL
A NEW SPACE.
HE ALWAYS DOES A LEFT TO RIGHT
HE LOOKS AT EVERYTHING, SMELLS
"OKAY, DAD. IT'S GOOD.
"NOW I'M JUST GONNA LAY DOWN,
PET ME."
[LAUGHTER]
SO HE'S LIVING THE PRETTY
Narrator: BUT WE MAY HAVE NEVER
IF THIS PAST MARCH, WHILE
AMERICA SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL'S
LOGAN HADN'T POSED A QUESTION TO
Logan: I SAID, "HEY, WHAT
FRINGE THAT ARE 60 MINUTES?"
AND HE SAID, "OH, THAT'S EASY.
YOURS."
AND SO THAT KIND
IT TOOK ME PROBABLY ABOUT THREE
AND THEN A MONTH
AND IT WAS VERY MUCH
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME DOING
THAT WOULD TRIGGER MY PTSD.
AND I WOULD FIND THAT I HAD JUST
OTHER TIMES, IT WAS VERY
EVENT, NOW THAT I HAVE
IT, AND BREAK IT DOWN AND GO,
I WORKED VERY HARD TO NEVER TAKE
GOOD, WHETHER IT WAS RIGHT,
OR WERE WE NOT.
THAT'S NOT WHAT
IT'S JUST ABOUT MY
Narrator: AND IT'S AN
RESONATED WITH AUDIENCES, A FACT
FIRST PLAYWRITING EFFORT.
Logan: IT'S THE TYPE OF THEATER
WE WANT TO EFFECT A CHANGE
AND SUDDENLY, I WAS SEEING THAT
AND I SAW HIM.
DIEGO!
COME!
COME HERE, BUDDY!
OH!
GOOD BOY!
YEAH, BOY!
[LAUGHING] [APPLAUSE]
THE SHOW ENDS, EVERYONE CLAPS,
TO PET HIM,
THAT ARE SHAKING MY HAND
I HAD ONE VETERAN
HE FOUGHT IN VIETNAM.
AND HE TOLD ME THAT IF SOMEBODY
ABLE TO TELL THEIR STORY IN THIS
30 YEARS WANDERING IN DARKNESS.
SO WHEN I HAVE A VET TELL ME
CONTINUE TELLING THE STORY THEN.
I THINK THAT TELLING THEIR
SO I HOPE THE SHOW INSPIRES.
IF IT INSPIRES ONE VET TO WRITE
HAVE SUCCEEDED.
GOOD BOY.
