I think for all the veterans that we bring out here, whether they work here or they're here for a support group, what rings true is if they can heal, I can heal.

這些狼會注意到你受傷或你哪裡不太對勁，他們能感同身受。

So, you know, we had some type of trauma in life, we kinda get that connection and one wolf will be your friend for life.

所以，我們在生命中經歷過一些創傷，我們會與狼建立起情感連結，而一隻狼會是你一輩子的朋友 。

[Matthew] What happens is one animal picks that one veteran, never again does that animal pick someone else, never again does that animal want to show the same kind of affection to someone else.
