police know when they run a license plate check that they are pulling over a deaf driver. the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave which is police department protocol pending an investigation. >> that's such a terrible story. >> horrible. maybe as a result of it some change will be enacted as a result. it's heartbreaking. >> sounds like it's necessary. this summer's fatal alligator attack in disney world is back in the headlines this morning. a new report outlining the desperate attempt by the boy's father to save his son and alligator warnings from other park guests. nbc's kerry sanders is with us for more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the report by the florida fish and wildlife conservation commission is heart wrenching. it clearly states that matt graves did everything he could to try to rescue his son blain from the clutches of an attacking alligator but the alligator was just too strong.

alligators. they say the evidence gathered show it's very likely one was the gator that killed lane. but it is not certain. since the tragedy, disney has built a stone wall around the lagoon and added warning signs around waterfront areas. and this morning the report is raising questions about whether prior warnings were ignored. at least two people said they reported alligator sightings to disney employees but the report does not reveal how the employees reacted to those reports. nbc news reached out to disney for a comment but got no response. september 3rd is lane grave's birthday. he would have been 3 years old. matt and melissa graves say they do not plan to sue disney releasing in a statement on monday we're focused on the well-being of our family. that is our priority. matt, savannah? >> our hearts are with them. kerry sanders, thank you. exhausted firefighters out in washington state are getting some much needed help with a

>> announcer: "today's" puppy with a purpose is created with our sponsor, petsmart. >> we're back now. second day with our new new puppy with a purpose. he left his first paw prints on monday and he's being raised by america's vet dog to become a service dog for a military veteran. >> time to give him a name. we asked you to vote at home. here were choices. sarge, charlie or ace. we got 22,000 votes. we have a winner. is that drum roll around? okay. the puppy's name is charlie. >> all right. >> the name inspired by the phonetic alphabet is in alpha,

bravo, charlie. >> let's go see your new home. this is where you'll spend your mornings in this beautiful pen. there you go. >> tell us about the digs here. >> it's personalized with charlie's name. there it is. it's all yours. a big thank you to our great friends at petsmart for the bedding, toys, bowls, all of this to make charlie's home so special. you have the best seat in the house in the orange room here. by the way, you are trending of course. here's his official page. already 210,000 followers. that better include all of us. so that's just some of the stuff that we've got going on for him and instagram page and twitter and just follow all of the antics of our beautiful boy, charlie. >> adorable. >> we all conked out yesterday. we needed a nap no question.

all right. make yourself at home. >> very comfortable. >> now he's got a name. what about a uniform? let's bring in his puppy raiser, olivia. talk to us about the vest. >> so when a service dog is working, they typically wear some piece of equipment. it's not required by law to wear it but most service dogs do wear a vest or a harness of some sort. whenever you see one of these out in public, it means the dog is doing a very important job and to always talk to the handler of the dog. sometimes it's an appropriate time to interact with the dog and sometimes it will not because typically the dog is doing a very important job that involves safety so always ask permission before you interact with the dog and this is our little boy vest to start off on his big job. >> very cool. how many hours a day will he be actually working? >> when he's a puppy, everything is fun and more of a game than

work. he'll have this vest on when we are on a training exercise. only five minutes at a time. their attention span is very short and we'll do several sessions throughout the day. >> vest on means working. rest of the time just be a puppy. >> that's right. >> we have one more thing. a lot of people at home are probably thinking about the very special service dog that we all grew to love. wrangler. check this out. a note from wrangler. he wrote that himself. he has great penmanship. we'll fill you in on wrangler and what he's up to tomorrow on "today." >> here, charlie. >> coming up, what is it like to step into the acting ring with none other than robert

8:43. we're back with grammy winning artist usher. a big role in "hands of stone" playing sugar ray leonard who had a fierce rivalry with roberto durant. >> i don't like you. >> i think durant is a loveable guy. i want my son to be just like him. >> i think he's tough. intelligent fighter. we are in for a serious fight. >> usher raymond welcome. is the definition of a nanosecond the time between someone offers you this role and you say yes? >> i didn't want to accept it without permission of sugar ray leonard so i reached out to him. american icon. olympic medalist and world decorated and celebrated man. >> you get to play sugar ray leonard and act opposite of

robert de niro. what's that like? you have done acting before. >> i have but never quite like this. i didn't have as many scenes with de niro. i had scenes with edgar. it was amazing. >> can we describe why they came to you with this. this is interesting. we think of boxing and brute force of it. they were attracted to you because -- >> of my movement and also there was similarities in the way that we looked other than just being black. it was definitely the ability to choreograph and understand movement the way i did. a very aggressive role. there was tension and intimidation that went into every fight and exchanges. outside of the ring time, acting time was a bit intense. >> i was a huge fan of his in his prime and to watch his footwork and to watch the way he could move in a ring and that's

kind of what you do on stage just in a different kind of venue. >> i pretty much know what i'm going to do before i hit the stage and sugar ray did as well. >> what about the actual physicality. did you have to be buff up a lot? >> i had to lose weight. i changed my eating habits. i worked out three times a day sometimes. had a trainer in atlanta. i worked at a gym here in brooklyn. and philly. i really didn't prepare like it was an acting role. i prepared like i was a boxer. >> you're too young to remember this -- >> i was alive, but i didn't see the actual fight. it's gone down in history. there was great deal of conflict between the two of them and a great deal of intimidation went into the first and second fight both ways. >> so many great fighters of the time. it was in my opinion other than the ali era, it was the heyday

of boxing. >> that weight class was a serious one. an amazing story for latin america and latinos all over to show their support. it's an amazing story for latinos. >> when you went to sugar ray leonard and talked to him, was there one thing you were looking for to get the character? >> i wanted intimate details about things i read in his book, "the big fight." he trained me and worked with me. i wanted to make sure i represented the right way. i feel like this is something for latinos. if there's ever been a notion that maybe there's negativity around latinos in america, some people have negative things to say. won't say names. this is an amazing film that in many ways represents the pride of latinos and i'm really happy that sugar ray leonard was able to be part of it.

>> just so people don't panic even though you're a thesbian now, you do have moususic comin out. >> we have a stage out there for you. >> can i take the lab? >> no. up next, the live performance from the violinist who is taking youtube by

statue and liberty and could see it from my window. >> it never gets tiring to see that. no matter how good the video or photograph is, until you stand in front of that statue of liberty, it takes your breath away. >> empire state building. >> there's a lot of stuff. the transit museum in brooklyn. my dad worked for transit authority so i put that in there. >> you have a tour guide. >> what did you do last night before you laid out this unbelievable suit. >> i love laying my clothes out the night before. deborah is out of town. the kids and i -- there's this indian restaurant that is a block and a half away from us. we've seen it since we've lived in our neighborhood. we said let's go in. turns out it's been there over 40 years. in fact, it's like one of these original new york -- >> like statue of liberty. it's there but you never go in.

when he became the nominee donald trump then raised the rent to 100,000 a month. >> genius. >> is that what it's called? the money is not coming from him. the money is coming from the gop, the rnc. he's raised the rent when he stopped footing the bill. >> he's 70 years old. >> his doctor said if he's elected, he'll be healthiest president ever. >> astonishingly excellent. but he's 70. that's the oldest candidate. ronald reagan was 69. everybody has released their records in more detail. john mccain released 1,100 pages of medical records. hillary has done two pages. i think maybe we need more from both. >> she's given the standard -- donald trump's doctor, the hospital he's associated with,

tractor at the grocery store, i'm going to write it down so i don't forget to buy my tractor. that doesn't look like a tractor. now you are scrolling through -- >> i tell you, you have to find other things to do at this time. >> just write down a list. let's show you what's going on as far as your weather is concerned, shall we? >> what did you draw? >> wet weather going on in midwest. storms firing up where we have a risk of strong storms today stretching from minnesota all of the way back down into iowa, parts of kansas and st. louis. my goodness. >> they were supposed to be tracto right now still seeing a lot of low clouds from the south bay into the north bay and san francisco. 50s and low 60s for the moment and climbing closer to 80 around

victoza® works with your body to lower blood sugar in three ways-- in the stomach, the liver and the pancreas. and while it isn't for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. non-insulin victoza® comes in a pen and is taken once a day. (announcer) victoza® is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or if you develop any allergic symptoms including itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so, stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are headache,

nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. now's the time for a better moment of proof. ask your doctor about victoza®. right. in. your. stomach! watch this!... >>yikes, that ice cream was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real ice cream, without that annoying lactose. lactaid. it's the milk that doesn't mess with you. spending the day with my niece. that make me smile. i don't use super poligrip for hold, because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well fitting dentures let in food particles. just a few dabs of super poligrip free is clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it's not about keeping my dentures in, it's about keeping the food particles out. try super poligrip free.

demonstrate how easily you can work out at home but number two, to see if you can do these simple exercises. are you doing them correctly? if not, figure out how to do it. first one i'm going to do, i demonstrated this an hour ago. it's called the popcorn pushup. plank position. hands under your shoulders. you go down. grab a piece of popcorn with your mouth. the whole point of that is when you do a real pushup, you have to get down low. >> billy works out all the time. as you know i'm not a fan of working out. >> do you want to do it on your knees? >> i'll do it the regular way. my point is for people at home you don't have to be buff and working out. >> start out being able to do ten pushups without practicing. >> okay. >> i spit on you. >> popcorn flying there. >> let's do this. all right. in a plank first. excellent. you'll go all of the way down and try to grab a piece of popcorn with your mouth and back up again.

amazing. i didn't realize this. blowing up a balloon is definitely a measure of your lung capacity. that means how deeply you can take a deep breath in and how well you get oxygen into your muscles which helps in an aerobic workout. don't stretch it. that's cheating. blow up balloons every day like 10 to 15 times and increases lung capacity like aerobic exercise does. you can blow it up. let it deflate. blow it up. >> so birthday clowns probably have -- >> blow it up. guess what? if you get dizzy or light-headed doing this a number of times means that your aerobic capacity is not that high. >> you can do multiple. you're showing off. >> it's going to pop. >> last thing is a karate kick.
