Just to answer the question of GANDALF--- ABC reported the dog was a Shiloh
Shepherd. Our Hero Dog awards rule that they must be a purebred GSD, Yes
the dog is a HERO,but are we going start awarding mixed breeds and other
breeds when they perform heroic acts?? And many other breeds and mongrels
HAVE
performed acts of Heroism . Until they announced it,I also presumed it was a
coated black GSD. I wrote this yesterday and was answered today-------------

If you can verify he's purebred GSD,I could care less how he looks ,but he
can not be a mixed breed or a Shiloh.. Certainly this dog is a Hero but when
you think of the past GSD Service--working S& R in the 9/11 disaster, the
Service S&R bitch from Florida that worked the recovery of body parts on the
Columbia and had done over 1000 S& R around the world in
earthquakes,cyclones,tornados. And last yrs was the service dog that worked
with his partner in
Afghanistan. I only have one Service dog nomination so far,Saved the life of
his
owner,so if you can verify the dog as purebred,I'll be happy to take the
nomination-- Helen
Marcato GSD answered today----------------
I verified that he is in fact, a Shiloh Shepherd (Even though the Listers
want it to be otherwise)....there are people on the forum I was talking about
that have litter siblings to him. A hero is a hero, even if he can't be
honored at the national
I will talk to Lew and see if he can send a "Certificate of
Appreciation",or "Recognition of Heroism" to the Gandalf and his owner from
the GSDCA.
