Inspired by Dove's "evolution" ad series, Rob Bliss Creative and Degage Ministries, a charity that works with veterans, created a video that showed Wolf getting a haircut and new clothes to help transform his life. The video was released this week in honor of Veteran's Day.
While the changes in Wolf's outward appearance are clearly evident in the time-lapse video, it's the shift in his outlook on life that is less tangible but much more powerful.
