Born in Berkeley California and raised in the Bay Area, Mike Dowling is a former U.S. Marine Corps military working dog handler and author of the critically acclaimed book Sergeant Rex: The Unbreakable Bond Between A Marine and His Military Working Dog (Atria books of Simon & Schuster). He and his military dog, Rex, were part of the first Marine Corps dog teams deployed to the front lines of combat since the Vietnam War. They operated in an area known as the "Triangle of Death" and were tasked with searching for the deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs). They were awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for their actions. He has traveled across the country sharing his story and the value of military working dogs.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
