00:00I see that rekindling of the 12 or 13 year old boy before the trauma and I think by being
00:22around these animals and these animals selecting these veterans to care for them, they get
00:27that feeling again of being chosen.
00:32The majority of animals we have are owner relinquishments and they want human contact
00:42so that's part of the reason why we created the Warriors and Wolves program because the
00:48animals want the contact and they benefit from it and the veterans benefit from the
00:52contact so it's a win-win situation.
00:58When you're in a place where you have this feeling and you know that people there want
01:04you dead, it kind of changes you a little.
01:23Two different species, both suffering from traumatic stress, coming together and healing
01:31each other is very unique but when you add the fact that these animals are actually wild
01:38animals, they have the choice to make these relationships and they choose to do it.
