American Humane announced the winning pet of its 2024 Hero Dog Award. The crowned dog and four finalists will be honored at a gala in Florida this winter.
The American Humane announced the winning dog for its annual Hero Dog Award — and the working pet has a unique story. The Hero Dog Awards announced the finalists for the award as a way to shed light on these remarkable animals' efforts in a variety of areas. The organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., was founded in 1877 and is the country’s first national humane organization committed to animals.
The American Humane noted that a bloodhound breed was new for the Gastonia Police Department, as it's only ever had German shepherds and other classic law enforcement breeds prior to this. Bo is known for his unique personality. He's easily frightened by Halloween decorations — but has been called a gentle giant. Bo is able to approach and comfort the people he tracks down — making him a secret weapon for the department.
