Lt. Col. Benjamin 'Ty' Edwards, his service dog-in-training Cody Bear, and dog trainer Jeannie Bates, work on the dog's ability to work alongside a motorized wheelchair at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital on Sept. 20, 2010. During Cody Bear's nearly two years of training in Naples, Bates periodically brought the dog to Tampa to train in its future working environments and to teach Edwards how to handle the service dog.
