Keith Urban Shines Light on Veteran’s Journey with Service Dog at Denver Show
If you were at Keith Urban’s Denver concert recently, you didn’t just witness great music—you experienced a moment that touched hearts far beyond the venue. In a powerful and emotional moment, Urban brought an Austin man named Bobby Kissner and his PTSD service dog, Maverick, onto the stage during his show. It wasn’t just a brief appearance—it was a celebration of resilience, healing, and the unbreakable bond between a veteran and his dog.
Bobby, an Austin native and military veteran, relies on Maverick to help manage the daily challenges of PTSD. For many service members returning home, the transition to civilian life can be filled with invisible battles. Maverick is more than just a companion; he’s trained to sense Bobby’s stress and anxiety, providing a calming presence in overwhelming situations. When Urban invited Bobby and Maverick up on stage, the crowd erupted—not only for the superstar on the mic, but for the quiet hero beside him.
Keith Urban, who’s known for his heartfelt performances and fan interactions, used this moment to spotlight the importance of mental health awareness and the vital role service animals play in a veteran’s life. It wasn’t scripted. It wasn’t flashy. It was real. And it reminded everyone there of the human stories behind the applause.

Urban’s ongoing High and Alive World Tour has been packed with surprises, but this one stood out. Not only did he introduce Bobby and Maverick, but he also gave fans a glimpse of his upcoming CBS competition show The Road , executive produced by Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan. The show follows 12 aspiring country artists as they navigate the highs and lows of life on tour. One of those contestants, Adam Sanders, even joined Urban on stage for a nostalgic cover of Jo Dee Messina’s “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” leaving fans cheering for more.
But amidst the lights and the music, it was the story of a veteran and his loyal dog that truly stole the show. For Bobby, this wasn’t just a concert—it was a moment of recognition and support in front of thousands. For the audience, it was a reminder that behind every brave face might be a story worth hearing—and maybe even sharing.
Keith Urban didn’t just put on a performance in Denver. He gave us all something to feel, to remember, and to talk about.
