Congratulations are in order for one special hound! The winner of the 2024 American Humane Hero Dog Awards was exclusively revealed on TODAY Nov. 8, crowning bloodhound Bo as top hero pup. Bo was initially up against 25 fellow canines for the 2024 American Humane Hero Dog title, who the American Humane recognizes as dogs accomplishing “extraordinary things,” like saving lives in combat or assisting human companions with tasks and goals.
Meet the winner, Bo Bo is an 18-month-old male bloodhound who works with Gastonia Police Department sergeant David Rowland in North Carolina, according to American Humane. The K-9 has been helping solve crimes and saving lines since he was just 8 months old after he was picked from his litter in 2023 by the police department. Rowland initially bonded with Bo by bringing the pup home as part of his training, and his kids played educational games with him in their backyard, per American Humane.
