Briefly

Hurricane, a Belgian Malinois and the most decorated dog in U.S. history, served as a Secret Service canine during President Obama's second term. He played a crucial role in the agency's response to security breaches at the White House. After surviving a traumatic incident in 2014, he was honored with multiple awards, including the Animals in War and Peace Distinguished Service Medal. Following his retirement in 2016, Hurricane devoted his life to supporting his handler, Marshall Mirarchi, who created a nonprofit to help retired service dogs. Hurricane passed away at 16, leaving a significant legacy in the canine community.
Hurricane was not only a badass, amazing Secret Service dog and led to the amazing organization that does so much for the K9 community.
After Hurricane's retirement, Mirarchi founded Hurricane's Heroes, a nonprofit organization aimed at providing subsidized veterinary care for retired law enforcement and military dogs.
