I agree with you Helen........but I also think the dog was doing exactly what
it was TRAINED to do.
This kind of thing goes on every day with these dogs. It is what they do.
This was just a scarey Nationally televised event. Dogs with Search &
Rescue and Police
Departments are trained to do exactly what this dog did.......it is just a
great "live find" .....BUT,
the result of extensive training and the trainers and Search & Rescue people
all were doing
what they were trained to do.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] The problem with Hero Gandalf
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.
