Episode Details

Meet Gizmo, a two-year-old Golden Retriever-Lab mix who’s not just your average K-9—he’s a tech-sniffing detective and comfort dog rolled into one. Trained to find hidden electronics like laptops and USB drives, Gizmo helps investigators crack tough cases involving child exploitation or terrorism, often locating evidence faster than humans can. Originally rejected from a service dog program for being too leash-pull-y, he found his calling in a specialized Indianapolis training program—and was certified alongside his handler, Sam Walker, after a grueling two-week course. Funded by the U.S. Secret Service, Gizmo also brings calm to high-stress situations, soothing officers, victims, and families. Already assisting neighboring agencies and set to appear at community events, Gizmo is quickly becoming a beloved asset—part crime-fighting hero, part emotional support pup.
