Origional broadcast March 7, 2018

You may have seen “Cerberus,” David Boreanaz’s “Seal Team” canine sidekick…

But, did you know that ‘he’ is really a ‘she’…Dita, a three-an-a-half-year-old Belgian Malinois.

David Boreanaz:
“She steals the show. You can take me away and everyone just wants to watch the dog, which I am completely fine with.”

Her popularity is both on TV as canine co-star…and on social media.

…Justin Melnick, who calls himself Dit’s ‘human,’ says Dita has changed his life….

“She lights everything up and having her around and being able to see how much joy she brings to people makes every single day amazing and I feel so special and thankful that I have her.”

When training, they exercise every day to strengthen her chest muscles and agility as a narcotics dog.

On ‘SEAL Team,’ Dita joins the special opps team on counter terrorism missions.

Justin Melnick
“One of the coolest things is she gets to figure out how to get into a house…we need to see what’s on the inside and it’s a very complex problem, and we did it in one take and she worked it out and figured out how to make it happen and I was so proud.”

…and for her star-treatment grooming…
