“For me it’s more of helping get away, be out with the animals and the wilderness. Watch them and have peace of mind. It’s very tranquil. I can come home and see [the animals] no matter how much stress I’m under, watching them and thinking ‘Wow, they really live a stress free life and get along so well with each other.’ Just taking that perspective helps me tremendously.”
