Stray Recon: Paco | Brandon McMillan

Well, here it is. The first episode of Stray Recon and my first season off network TV. I had a great run on CBS with Lucky Dog, but now it's time to take the reins. I'm excited you're here to watch my new journey saving one dog at a time. This will not be an easy task, but I'm thankful we can do this together. Welcome to Stray Recon! - Brandon McMillan

I've enjoyed watching this show for a few years. Glad to see Brandon is back on CBS!

[@mollyfrank679]

I love this sooo much! I appreciated your work on Lucky Dog and faithfully watched every Saturday until you left. Now I love this even MORE-- it's not overproduced, you are helping the dogs and the families that have lost their pet. This is beyond awesome, your mission and the way you have filmed this is so beneficial. Thank you 🙏 I cannot wait for the next episode (I only wish it was longer!!) Keep up the good fight #SpayorNeuterYourPet #SaveADogKeepYours ❤

[@christinehill4491]

I can't agree more about this not being overproduced. Love it.

[@kathleenphelan8708]

I was a big fan of Lucky Dog. I know you are helping strays here, but it hurts my heart to see them being trapped. I liked this episode because you helped the owners get their dog back and train him. Education is key to solving this stray problem. I hope future episodes show the dogs being adopted into their forever homes.

[@cougaressa4675]

brandon, you did such a generous thing by helping not only paco, but his owner as well. thank you for all you do

[@useemehere2]

All I can say is Thanks a lot for doing this to all dog that need help. Love your TV Lucky dog show.

[@colindunn8932]

Great start to the new series! It was everything I hoped for - the stray rescue aspect of a "Hope for Paws" video combined with the training and dog/family bonding of the original "Lucky Dog." And shot in 4K for a high-quality audiovisual experience. Definitely coming back for more!

[@pattichristensen9814]

Brandon, you are such a good soul! Blessings beautiful soul.

[@Belle0477]

I miss Lucky Dog, but just found this channel. Yep, my heart is full and I’ crying again.

[@mypawssionbyamoreenaandben9069]

LOVE IT....and I want more !!! You act more like yourself, very relax, and i love the entire show that i wish you had more dogs in one show... keep up the good work. Thank you for continue with your mission of helping animals.

[@animalbrandon]

I prob could do 10 dogs in 1 episode with the amount of strays I’m finding

[@ellenmavriplis9213]

Love seeing you back and continuing your mission. Will be checking back often for new videos, I’m actually pleasantly surprised at how much better I like the KZbin platform than TV!

[@animalbrandon]

Less commercials and more unique artist style content. KZbin is sinking network television’s ship as we speak. Glad you like.

[@thomasherzog4381]

Great job, Brandon! Happy to see you back!

[@theodoretowler3105]

This man Brandon is an angel! I don't know if he realizes that he not only saves dogs but he saves people too, by showing them how to train their dogs, and also how important it is for all of us to adopt shelter dogs! I know he has helped me as I started watching his "Lucky Dog" show years ago, and I now have 2 rescue dogs that really rescued me! Thank you Brandon for everything you do, and your new show Stray Recon is GREAT!

[@nancyclatfelter5808]

I knew you'd find a way to get back to your fans! So gr8 to see a happy reunion instead of a sadder ending like the dog running into traffic!

[@melissaanderson115]

Great job! Great to see you on again. You give so much education to us dog owners. Thank you for all you do

A great start to what I hope will be a very long and successful series! I love your mission -- and I hope, like the wave of adoptions of rescued pets you've triggered in recent years, your advocacy in this new arena will lead to many more of the 40,000 lost and stray dogs getting the second chance they deserve! Congratulations Brandon!

[@barshagogoi1882]

This is fantastic!!! Loved every bit of it!!!! Love from India!!!

[@teresaschwenk7519]

Awesome job! I am so happy that you are back with helping people and their furry friends. It helps to see you in action with how these pups can be trained. Knowing that it takes weeks of consistent work, not just a half hour and done. Congrats on this new format, and continued reaching out to your audience!

[@sylviat5234]

So glad that you are back, Brandon, and that there was a happy ending for Paco

[@cynthiacaimano6288]

Great job! Paco is on his way to being to being safe dog.

[@kevibran1]

I am sorry to be so negative, but these parents are really problematic, I know they love the dog, but really... not to know anything about the breed, no training, no containment ("yea he gets out but always came back..."), to not chip/train/neuter... they are not alone, so so many people are the same, so thank you Brandon for helping them to understand

[@marriamerryman6520]

Wonderful, wonderful. I'm so happy you did all of that for them. Your message is very strong, keep going. Marria.

[@michellekrehl7469]

Oh Brandon! Sooo happy to see you here! So wonderful! I have 3 rescues, all Los Angeles strays!!! Thank you for all you do!!!! Much love! Michelle and her pack! (Mindy, Max, and Sloane)

I wanted to add Thank You for being so kind Brandon and Advocating for Spay and Neuter with 10000 dogs including puppies that are killed a day in this Country Simply because their are not enough homes this is So Important! I also am involved in Rescue and have been a Foster Mom/Home for Rescue for over 15 years now so this hits very close to my heart !

[@jillnagle7490]

This is wonderful. Keep up the good work. I wish there could be a whole army of neuter and spay buses out there. That seems like it's key to getting the population down.

[@finelyotuit]

Well done, Brandon, well done! As a dog rescuer from the 80's, I thank you for the spay/neuter and microchip information but most of all, train the owners!! A "typical" pet owner has no idea how to train a dog to do anything and not only did you show them but you offered to train the dog and THEM! I've watched you on Lucky Dog but DUDE, what a fantastic start to a great future!! Keep it up!!

Thank you for being back on social media. How do you get funded for the things that you do (spay/neuter, food, registration, etc.). Are you with Patreon - I'd love to be a patron and help financially. I don't have much but together a bunch of us will be able to muster up a monthly donation.

[@animalbrandon]

Lucy Pet believed in me and sponsored the project. This is why I love them They put the welfare of animals above everything else.

[@joannagullo7723]

I thoroughly enjoyed! I had no idea what to expect! A lot of “twist and turns” especially when you invited Adrian to the Ranch! I totally loved that!! “One” of my absolute favorite parts however......is when I saw Mr. Koda entering the yard 😎

[@kellyh9169]

We need more work like this. Having worked in animal welfare for the past 16 years I have to say this type of work needs to be the future focus. Reuniting strays with owners, education, spay/neuter, behavior training tools, food donation, you literally covered every. single. issue. And prevented a dog from ending up in a shelter and euthanized due to lack of space and resources. This is truly outstanding work. Send your critics my way and I’d happily educate them on why what you’re doing so so critical. Just even that you’re shedding light on it from all the angles is awesome. Well done and thank you truly from someone who’s seen the worst of animal welfare, this is truly inspiring! 👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@writerforlifeify]

When one door closes, another opens........ Sometimes, the unsavory or toxic elements of one's present 'golden egg' of a job/situation coalesce to slowly build & cushion a launching pad of sorts; this new series--'Stray Recon'--is the rocket that was successfully fired into the stratosphere today! I feel Brandon was preparing (or was being prepared, by higher forces) for just this borne-of-pure-intentions opportunity for a long time. Subscribed!

[@melindajones1595]

This was very well done, included lots of great information, was a good length of time, and best of all, it was _genuine_! (Not to nick pit, but my equine upbringing must let me point out the typo in the video description. Take the "reins" instead of "reigns." No biggie). Can't wait for the next episode!

[@lightbringer6942]

I just love your work and you are definitely my role model when it comes to working with dogs. I'm happy Paco got home again and that Adrian was willing to work with him. What I don't understand, besides the not microchipping and registration thing is why people won't post an up-to-date photo of their pets. I see it all the time here as well and it upsets me, I could guess chances are much higher with the right photo
