Lorin Linder, co-founder and president of the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center, with one of the 29 rescued wolf dogs at the center in Lockwood, Calif. It's been three months since this California animal rescue center retrieved 29 wolf-dogs from an Alaska tourist attraction that had fought the state over owning, breeding and selling the wolf-hybrids. Chains were so deeply embedded in the necks of two of the animals that they had to be surgically removed.The task of taming the wolf-dogs has been given to a couple of U.S. military veterans who say they can relate to the stress of trying to transition to a normal life.
