RYAN LARKINS DELIVERS POWERFUL TRIBUTE, "WHO RESCUED WHO"
SONG RELEASES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH K9s FOR WARRIORS IN HONOR OF PTSD AWARENESS MONTH
June 6, 2025 - Nashville, TN - #1-charted songwriter and Red Street Records recording artist Ryan Larkins released his latest soul-stirrer, "Who Rescued Who" (LISTEN HERE), available everywhere. Today's release debuts in partnership with K9s For Warriors, a national nonprofit committed to ending Veteran suicide andsaving lives at both ends of the leash by providing highly-trained service dogs to military Veterans suffering from PTSD and other invisible wounds. Today's release of "Who Rescued Who" marks the beginning of PTSD Awareness month and drops on a pivotal day in American history, D-Day, carrying a tremendously impactful and important message in its heart-wrenching lyrics. The chorus sings,
"We were gonna be more than friends, we were both survivors / Yours was an abusive home and mine was hostile fire / God knows how we found each other, but you needed me and I needed you / So tell me, who rescued who? / Who rescued who?"
“My rescued Service Dog, Doc and I are honored to be featured in the 'Who Rescued Who' music video alongside fellow Veterans and their life-changing Service Dogs,” said Army Veteran and K9s For Warriors graduate Dave Crenshaw. “K9s For Warriors gives Veterans and dogs a second chance and new purpose, and I am forever grateful for the relationship I have with my Service Dog.”
Written by James Slater, who also produced the song, and Jesse M Bowling, "Who Rescued Who" pays tribute to and raises awareness of the healing power that rescue dogs bring to those suffering from invisible wounds. Every single day, roughly 20 Veterans die by suicide and over 1,000 dogs are euthanized, and K9s For Warriors is committed to changing that.
