One year on the job and going strong! We are so excited to have LCDR Abigail as our official #USPHSmascot.
Over the last year, her pup-arazzi has grown and regularly asks for a glimpse of what she does on a daily basis. We and our colleagues within OASH decided to catch up with LCDR Abigail and her handler LCDR Dan Johnson to get the details. If you'd like to know what they told us, check out our #dayinthelife video below.
