On Sept. 17, 2022, Lawrence introduced Nala to the world. He posted three photos of the adorable pup on Instagram, and it's safe to say everyone instantly fell in love with her. Nala has since become a staple on Lawrence's social media pages, but believe it or not, he didn't open up about her until a few months later.

During the March 28, 2023, episode of Ride to Work With Abby Hornacek, the Texas native shared his love for his dog, telling the titular host, "Nala has been a gift to me."

Lawrence then explained how he met Nala, telling Abby, "I got assigned this story of this Special Forces operator dog named Raptor, and Raptor is one of the most decorated canines, especially during the war on terror."

"And so, me and Raptor formed this connection," he continued. "[She's a] very tough dog, but she just would not leave me alone, and so the Special Forces operator looks at me and goes, 'I feel like you want one.'"

Lawrence "jokingly said, 'Well, if you can find me one from Raptor's bloodline, I'll get one.' So on Labor Day, he sends me a picture and goes, 'Brother, I found you one,' and it's a picture of Nala. I got so attached."

Since then, Lawrence and Nala have been attached at the hip. And when she's not training with Baden K9 to help U.S. veterans with PTSD, this sweet little pooch is living her very best life.
