00:00Thanks for having us back.
00:01Oh, we love it when you come.
00:02Great, the dogs are here.
00:03They come by every year to visit all you veterans.
00:06I'm Amber.
00:06I run Davenport Animal Haven.
00:08Caleb.
00:08Nice to meet you, Caleb.
00:09This is Leo.
00:10I adopted him and ended up finding my best friend.
00:13He loves coming on visits and he loves Christmas.
00:15Well, it sounds like you're both pretty lucky.
00:17Thank you for stopping by.
00:20You were wounded in service.
00:21It's okay to take your time to adjust.
00:24Maybe keep an eye out for something that will help you find purpose again.
00:27Hi!
00:27So I came by because I thought maybe you could use a hand like a volunteer.
00:31We can truly use the help, especially with the Christmas adoption drive coming up.
00:34I was thinking maybe it's a good way for me to keep busy right now.
00:37I have a new volunteer and he did a lot of cleaning.
00:39Is he handsome?
00:40Mom!
00:41If she didn't ask, I was going to say the same thing.
00:43He's nice, but I don't know a lot about him yet.
00:46So what can I do?
00:47We're pretty much at capacity with the number of animals we're sheltering.
00:50A lot of furry ones to take care of, huh?
00:51So thank you for being here.
00:53Since you've been volunteering, you've been different.
00:56I'm glad you've found something that you're passionate about.
00:59It's been exactly what I was missing.
01:01And not just the work.
01:02It's the little smiles on all the dogs' faces.
01:04And being around people like you.
01:07I want to meet him.
01:08No.
01:09He's going to be alone this Christmas.
01:10You should invite him to spend it with us.
01:12One day, someone will see him for who he is.
01:14I wish everyone could see animals the way you do.
01:16I hope you recognize all of the good and strength that I see each time I look at you.
01:20And not just because of what you did for the shelter, but because you're amazing.
01:25I felt something for you that first day we met.
