00:01.992 --> 00:02.825
^- [Narrator] Sailors assigned to the

00:02.825 --> 00:04.978
^aircraft carrier, USS Nimitz, spent the day

00:04.978 --> 00:09.145
^at K-9 Friends Dog Shelter in Dubai, September 28th.

00:09.285 --> 00:10.569
- Well, I never done a camera before

00:10.569 --> 00:12.461
^so I am very blessed to come out here

00:12.461 --> 00:14.839
^and give my time to the community.

00:14.839 --> 00:16.468
^I think it's a great thing to always volunteer

00:16.468 --> 00:18.236
and always give yourself to somebody

00:18.236 --> 00:19.901
else's cause and everything because everybody

00:19.901 --> 00:22.616
that has a great cause you get to volunteer

00:22.616 --> 00:25.250
and actually experience just a little bit of what they do.

00:25.250 --> 00:26.404
It's a miracle.

00:26.404 --> 00:28.013
- [Narrator] Sailors spent the day playing with

00:28.013 --> 00:30.102
and washing dogs at the shelter.

00:30.102 --> 00:32.874
^- It's so good for the dogs to interact with guys,

00:32.874 --> 00:35.415
^because it's mainly women that volunteer here

00:35.415 --> 00:38.338
and a lot of them are nervous or afraid of men.

00:38.338 --> 00:40.032
So just having positive interaction

00:40.032 --> 00:42.282
with a navy guy is amazing.

00:42.356 --> 00:44.214
It just helps to build the dog's confidence

00:44.214 --> 00:47.214
and know that not all men hurt them.

00:47.452 --> 00:48.649
