From Warzones to Wagging Tails: The Journey of Christopher Lamy | S.O.S. #199
In this in-person episode of Stories of Service, Theresa Carpenter speaks with Christopher Lamy—veteran, dog trainer, and her SkillBridge provider—about his journey from Air Force K-9 handler to community advocate. Growing up as the oldest of seven, Chris developed leadership skills and a bond with animals early on. After 10 years in the military, including deployments with Navy SEAL Team 2, he pursued a law degree but ultimately returned to dog training after a mentor’s passing. Now based in Long Beach, MS, he runs Canine Coaching with Chris, leads a nonprofit for shelter dogs, and co-hosts the Whiskey and Wolves podcast.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
• Chris’s early days as the “dog guy” in a big family
• His intense military journey and work with elite teams in combat
• The emotional and physical toll of service—and how he kept going
• Why he walked away from a legal career to follow a different calling
• How he’s making a difference in the lives of dogs and veterans alike
• His ongoing mission to serve through storytelling and canine advocacy
