The education of SPAR became Mike's project upon his retirement from the Coast Guard. He discovered she had difficulty staying focused on the obstacles from the start line. Now, SPAR is "steady as she goes" and it's all because of a kiss! Mike's reassurance and a kiss at the start line of every run has given her exactly what she needed to stay focused on the course.
