00:06.237 --> 00:07.239
- [Cody] Sailors assigned

00:07.239 --> 00:08.720
to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz

00:08.720 --> 00:11.403
spent the day at Canine Friends dog shelter in Dubai,

00:11.403 --> 00:12.486
September 28.

00:13.090 --> 00:14.773
- Well, I've never been on camera before,

00:14.773 --> 00:17.749
so I'm very blessed to come out here and give my time

00:17.749 --> 00:19.073
to the community.

00:19.073 --> 00:20.887
I think it's a great thing to always volunteer,

00:20.887 --> 00:22.871
and always give yourself to somebody else's cause

00:22.871 --> 00:25.581
and everything, because everybody has a great cause.

00:25.581 --> 00:27.645
You get to volunteer and actually experience

00:27.645 --> 00:30.568
just a little bit of what they do, it's a miracle.

00:30.568 --> 00:32.145
- [Cody] Sailors spent the day playing with

00:32.145 --> 00:33.848
and washing dogs at the shelter.

00:33.848 --> 00:36.887
- It's so good for the dogs to interact with guys,

00:36.887 --> 00:39.687
because it's mainly women that volunteer here,

00:39.687 --> 00:42.069
and a lot of them are nervous or afraid of men.

00:42.069 --> 00:44.069
So just having positive interaction

00:44.069 --> 00:46.456
with the Navy guys is amazing.

00:46.456 --> 00:48.444
It just helps to build the dogs' confidence,

00:48.444 --> 00:50.616
and know that not all men hurt them.

00:50.616 --> 00:52.667
- [Cody] Reporting from USS Nimitz,

00:52.667 --> 00:54.584
I'm Seaman Cody Deccio.
