Charley, one of the 15 finalists
The Humane Society of the United States will be presenting its second annual Dogs of Valor Award, given to dogs who have acted heroically. As the HSUS blog notes,
This year’s nominees include not only dogs who saved the lives of their caretakers, but dogs who moved beyond that familiar bond and came to the aid of a stranger. Even more touching, many of this year’s nominees joined their homes as rescue dogs—showing that giving a dog a second chance often provides a second chance for us, as well.
There are 15 finalists, and you can vote for your favorite. But hurry — voting ends at 5 pm Eastern on Friday, May 15. The winner and three runners-up will be announced on May 17.
