Hooch is a cruelty survivor and finalist in the 2016 American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards. With your daily vote he can win a $7,500 donation to Pets for Patriots, enough to fully fund 30 veteran-pet adoptions!

Despite the cruelty inflicted on him, including the removal of his tongue, Hooch is a slobbering bundle of love. Now rescued and recovered, he loves nothing more than working as a therapy dog visiting non-verbal autistic children, as well as those who have been abused or have special needs.
