Wilson reconnecting with Seal from PBB

Interventional

See Wilson in action with Seal...

Experience a very special bond between man and dog.  This is Wilson falling back in love with Seal, the dog that single-handedly changed his life.  While incarcerated, and while battling levels of depression, Wilson found himself searching for a clear direction in life.  Then he found Seal -- or as he likes to say -- they found each other.  He became a puppy raiser, caring and training dogs that assisted wounded veterans coming home.  Wilson spent the next 24 months, day and night raising Seal -- running with him through the puppy yard, teaching Seal commands that will make him a huge asset to our veterans.  But in that time, it was Seal who raised a better man out of Wilson.  They grew inseparable on the left side of the wall.  Watch them reconnect on the right side of the wall.

Hey Wilson, I can see there's a very unique connection between you and Seal. You have done an outstanding job training him. He listens to your every command precisely. If it's so fun watching the video, I can only imagine how fun it must be to actually interact with him. Hope you two can continue this special friendship.
