>>In any case, it would be best to have all the information before making a nomination.<<< I have to agree with this. While I would totally support nominating Congo if he did come to his owner's protection when she was attacked, we don't know for sure this is the case. Let's get the facts first, then decide. There's no immediate rush because there was just a post saying we couldn't nominate a hero dog until January 2008.
