They roam the woods like they’re the kings and queens of the forest. You never really think about how these hearty creatures might sometimes need help, too. Cruel people mistreat them just the same as they, unfortunately, do to other animals. These abused wolves need healing, both physical and emotional, if and when they are rescued. They’ve been through a lot…not unlike our veterans. There’s nothing more healing than companionship, and when two damaged souls come together, magic happens. Sometimes, all one person needs to be able to start the healing process is to see that healing is possible. The relationships that these wolves and their veterans form are truly lifesaving, and it’s so touching to see them come together like this.

When doctor’s told Tristen that he only has months left to live, this army veteran was determined to find a loving home for his loyal service dog. Kane (a seven-year-old Doberman) and Tristen are more than just friends–they are best friends. Tristen was told that he had a rare form of brain cancer in March–which had already progressed to Stage IV when they discovered it. And this devoted owner couldn’t bear knowing that his best friend would be homeless once he was gone. “He is my heart. I don’t have much time left and it’s very important to me to know that he’s going to have a good home.” Tristen would not be able to handle losing his life and knowing that his best friend didn’t have a good home, so he made it his mission to find him one. It was his goal to find someone that could love and appreciate Kane equally as much as he did. Watch their touching story below, when Tristen was recently interviewed by a television station:

These guide dogs assist war veterans. They were specially trained to identify when their owners are having disturbing flashbacks or nightmares and they have learned to wake them up at the right moment. This video shows the assistance a veteran dog can offer in helping a military veteran who is coping with severe war related trauma. Dogs are such amazing creatures, I guess it’s true what they say, angels walk on four legs.
