Hi friends! I’m Mojo. I’m a proud, fluffy 10-pound Pomeranian and service dog in training. I may be small, but I have a big job and an even bigger heart. I travel with my Pop, Jonathan, the founder of Warrior Golf Academy, where we help veterans, first responders, and adaptive athletes find healing through golf.

This was my first official mission, and it was full of lessons, tail wags, and a few nervous moments too.

🧳 The Hustle Before the Journey

The minute Pop pulled out the suitcases, I knew something big was happening. He paced, mumbled, and packed (mostly snacks). I barked reminders like “Don’t forget my blanket!” and nudged him when he seemed overwhelmed.

Sometimes, even strong humans need a paw to keep them grounded.

✈️ The Airport: Loud, Busy, and Brave

Oh boy, airports are loud. So many people, bags, and beeps. I stayed close, helped Pop breathe, and reminded him we’re a team. That’s what service dogs do: we help our people stay present when the world gets too loud.

⛳ The Golf Course: Connection, Calm, and Community

Once my paws hit the grass at the 100fore22 event, everything changed. The course was peaceful. Pop smiled. We met veterans and first responders who understood each other without needing to say a word.

Everyone cheered each other on. No one was alone. That day, I realized golf isn’t just a game. It’s a bridge. And we were building something together.

🐶 The Mission Behind the Mission

Being a service dog isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. Whether it was calming Pop during security checks, sitting still on the plane, or sharing smiles on the fairway, I knew I had found my purpose.

This wasn’t just Pop’s mission. It was mine too.

💛 What I Learned

Kindness is everything.

Everyone carries something, whether you can see it or not. A smile, a tail wag, a kind word—it all matters. Veterans show up for each other. So do their dogs.

If you ever feel lost in the noise of life, remember that even when the world is moving fast, you can take it slow. One step. One swing. One kind moment at a time.

Until next time,

Woof and tail wags,

Mojo 🐾
