But the prisoners train these puppies to then be service dogs to help our soldiers in Iraq who comes back with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress, and then send them to the veterans from Iraq. Some of those inmates had never known love or responsibility. They'd never taken care of anybody, nor knew what it felt like to have somebody love you back when you take care of them.
這些犯人要把小狗崽訓練成服務狗，讓它們去幫助我們國家那些因為腦創傷后遺癥從伊拉克戰場返回來的老兵。它們會被送到老兵那里。這些犯人們有的根本不知道什么是愛和責任。他們從來沒有照顧過別人，也不知道照顧別人的時得到別人愛的回饋是什么感覺。
But one of the things they teach the dogs is how to kiss the soldier's face. A lot of the soldiers come back with post-traumatic stress and have terrible experiences, and if the soldier is starting to go to a bad place in his mind, the dogs lick and kiss the soldier's face to bring him back to reality. So this means that the prisoners themselves also had to get the kisses from the puppies they were training. It's clear the kisses were also bringing the prisoners back from a hard, cold place, and to see these in front of each other, cry redemption, their voices quivering as they talk about the chance to do something good, to do something kind and unselfish, by helping the wounded soldiers in Iraq and tesching the dogs, was so moving.
然而犯人們教小狗做的一件事是讓它們學會去親吻老兵的臉。很多老兵從戰場回來后有腦創后遺癥和可怕的經歷，每當老兵想起可怕的往事時，小狗就會舔舐并親吻他的臉，把他帶回現實中。這意味著犯人們訓練小狗的時候也會得到小狗的親吻。很顯然，這些吻也會把犯人們帶離那個無情而冰冷的地方。再看看這些犯人，他們中很多人沒有經歷過愛和被愛，他們在鏡頭前，在彼此面前痛哭流淚，因為懺悔而流淚，在講述通過訓練小狗去幫助受傷士兵的經歷，使他們獲得了改過自新、做些無私善舉的機會時，他們的聲音都在顫抖。這個場面實在是太感人了。
