TMZ | Guest Marshall Mirarchi & K9 Hurricane
July 26th, 2023 | Marshall & Hurricane had a blast being on TMZ. Check out this exclusive interview given by Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere.
Marshall worked over 10 years with US Secret Service assigned to the White House. During that time he had two Emergency Response Team apprehension canines who he worked the White House grounds with. One being K9 Hurricane, and the second dog he has always refrained from talking about out of respect since that dog was still operational and was working with another handler. That 2nd K9 has since retired. Marshall was his first handler and the one who put him through the Tactical Canine Unit training for Secret Service when he was just a pup.
With his second dog Marshall served operationally in 2016/2017 during President Trumps first year in office, maybe we will post about him later???
Marshall also worked routine shifts at the Vice President’s residence and Camp David, so he is no stranger to the family pets of former Presidents and Vice Presidents.
Scottish Terrier’s Barney and Miss Beazley, who were the dogs of President George W. Bush, were Marshall’s first experience with the First Family’s pets. Next came Portuguese water dogs Sunny and BO (the initials of Barrack Obama) who were the dogs of President Barrack Obama.
Also during that time was German Shepherd Champ, who was the dog of them Vice President and now President Joseph Biden.
