Attention all BVA members and dog lovers alike! We have some exciting news that’s sure to bring a smile to your face and a wag to your tail. Donald, one of our very own Ambassadogs featured in a previous month, has made it to the top five finalists in the Service Dog category for the American Humane Society Hero Dog Award!

Now, we all know that every one of our Ambassadogs is a hero in their own right, but Donald has truly outdone himself this year. With his handler, Teresa Galgano, our Director of Outreach, Donald has been a steadfast companion, traveling far and wide to represent BVA with pride and poise.

Donald’s journey to the top five has been nothing short of remarkable. Whether he is charming the socks off veterans at events or providing his handler with guidance through airports, city streets, trains, hotels, and parking lots, Donald has shown us all what it means to be a true hero. His dedication and love for his work are evident in every wag of the tail and every joyful bark.

Now, here’s where you come in! We need your help to ensure that Donald takes home the title of Hero Dog. Voting is open now, and you can cast your vote every day until September 15. That’s right—vote early, vote often, and let’s show the world just how much we love our Ambassadogs!
