First American War Dog Hero RIN TIN TIN Named National Ambassador for
American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards?

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the
contributions of military working dogs are being recognized for their
accomplishments around the globe, American Humane Association proudly
announced today that RIN TIN TIN, possibly the most recognized dog in
the world, has become its first national spokesdog. RIN TIN TIN will
serve as a national ambassador for the American Humane Association's
Hero Dog Awards? presented by CESAR® Canine Cuisine. Nominations for
the Hero Dog Awards are now open at www.herodogawards.org.

RIN TIN TIN was rescued as a pup from a battlefield in 1918 France
during World War I. He was brought to the United States after the war
and the training program led by his son, RIN TIN TIN III, served as the
model to help create the U.S. Military Working Dog training program at
Camp Hahn in California during 1939. "The long and accomplished history
of the RIN TIN TIN line dogs serving as war heroes, animal actors in
films and television and even as a search and recovery dog at the
Pentagon after the attacks of 9/11, continues today as the current RIN
TIN TIN is a member of the elite search dog recovery unit in Arkansas,"
according to Daphne Hereford, President of RIN TIN TIN, INCORPORATED.
"We're proud to join with American Humane Association in recognition of
the powerful relationship between dogs and people as celebrated by the
Hero Dog Awards."

"We are thrilled to have quite possibly the most famous dog in the
world, RIN TIN TIN, join American Humane Association as our national
spokesdog," says Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and Chief Executive
Officer of American Humane Association. "RIN TIN TIN will act as a
representative for American Humane Association's Red Star Emergency
Response unit, currently deployed to rescue animals in flood ravaged
Tennessee, as well as at a very special tribute to the search and rescue
dogs involved in the recovery efforts after the attacks of 9/11 that
will take place on September 8th at the Arts League in New York City.
We could not ask for a more fitting national ambassador for our  
programs."

American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards? are seeking dogs to be
nominated in eight categories: Law Enforcement and Arson Dogs; Service
Dogs; Therapy Dogs; Military Dogs; Guide Dogs; Search and Rescue Dogs;
Hearing Dogs; and Emerging Hero Dogs, which includes pets. Nominations

June 1, 2011. Finalists in each category will be judged by a blue-ribbon
panel consisting of both celebrities and animal experts, to determine
the winning American Hero Dog. The winner will be announced at the
first-ever American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards celebrity gala,
presented by CESAR® Canine Cuisine, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los
Angeles on Oct. 1, 2011.
