For the past three years, Modern Dog has proudly supported the American Humane Association's efforts to recognize the amazing work our canine compatriots perform. Whether in trained service roles or personal support, our dogs are all heros. The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards celebrates all dogs.

Nominations for the 2014 Hero Dog Awards are now open. We encourage you to participate in the event by nominating your dog or a dog you know. It's a chance to be part of a strong community of people who see the important role dogs play in making our lives safer and happier.
