And I agree 100% with this post. Someone posted (and I cant find the post) about how some of the either SAR dogs or Police dogs somewhere didnt have the funds for the stab proof and bullet proof vests they needed to perform their jobs--would we be better off donating to this good cause than honoring a mixed breed dog who's breeders hate us? And just to note--I am NOT knocking this wonderful dog who saved this child's life-and he should be honored--but by his "own"--not us. Unless we want to start honoring all the other breeds and mixed breeds that do good things. That could get expensive--in more ways than one. LETS TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FIRST.

It would be a great way to get a little publicity for your event And if you have a local GSD hero in your area, for goodness sake nominate him for one of the GSDCA Hero dog Awards.
