f you haven’t heard of the American Humane Hero Dog Awards®, it’s time to tune in! They’ve just celebrated their 14th annual event and announced America’s newest top dog: Law Enforcement Dog Bo.
The American Humane Hero Dog Awards® is a nationwide event that celebrates exceptional dogs across the United States, recognizing them in five distinct categories: Therapy Dogs, Service and Guide Dogs, Military Dogs, Law Enforcement and First Responder Dogs, and Shelter Dogs.
The competition began in June with Americans nominating hundreds of inspiring dogs from all corners of the country. Five semi-finalists in each category were selected from this initial pool to meet the public. Following a rigorous round of public voting, 25 semi-finalists were narrowed down to five finalists, each with a remarkable story. In the end, Bo emerged as the winner, chosen by an esteemed blue-ribbon judging panel.
