The narrative takes an inspirational turn as Amy shares Army veteran Derek Cartwright's poignant journey of healing through these furry friends, illuminating how these small creatures provide a therapeutic respite from the scars of war, including PTSD.
The heart of the segment beats with stories of soldiers finding solace and recovery through their bonds with these canine companions, showcasing how these dogs transition from being shelter animals to indispensable support members of veterans' lives.
