Do you get overwhelmed?

When doing this type of job and seeing so many horrible things, how do you not get overwhelmed? I can't imagine doing it every day.

Doing this kind of work can certainly be overwhelming sometimes. I have known many other law enforcement officers—seasoned veterans—who have asked me, “How can you do this job, because I could not.” We maintain our cool because we are professionals and have to get it done. That abused or dying animal’s life depends on how we conduct ourselves. Yes, there are days when we can barely stop to go to the bathroom, we are so busy—but at the end of the day when we see what we did for the animals, we know we did a good job.
