PRLog - May 24, 2013 - DES MOINES, Iowa -- BOGO Bowl is pleased to provide the prize for The Humane Society of the United States’ Pets of Valor Award. The award celebrates the human-animal bond by honoring rescued or adopted dogs and cats who have exhibited an extraordinary sense of courage or resolve by heroically helping a person in need. The organization that cared for the dog or cat named Valor Pet of the Year will receive a one-year supply of BOGO Bowl dog food (500 pounds).
“We love supporting responsible pet ownership and this will also support a group rescuing doggy friends — we call that a win-win,” said BOGO Bowl Chief Foodie Sara Henderson.
The public can read these brave pets’ complete stories and vote for their favorite hero once a day from May 24 to May 31 at 5 p.m. EST at humanesociety.org/petsofvalor.
Chilly, English bulldog mix, adopted from Fluvanna SPCA (Mineral, VA) - Chilly whined and urgently pawed and licked her owner’s face waking her from a nap. She awoke to discover that her throat was swelling shut, a symptom of the life-threatening anaphylactic reaction she was experiencing from the allergy injections she had received earlier that day.
Lilly, pit bull mix, adopted from Joe Joe’s Place (Beachwood, NJ) - When her owner suffered a brain aneurysm during a hike in the cranberry bogs at a state park, Lilly got another hiker’s attention and led him back 150 yards to her unconscious owner’s side.
Mabeline, Rhodesian ridgeback mix, adopted from Friends of Strays Animal Shelter (St. Petersburg, FL) - Mabeline sprung to action when the young shelter volunteer who was walking her was attacked by a registered sex offender. She barked and growled until he fled the scene.
Rocky, Labrador retriever mix, adopted from Lassen Humane Society’s Pups on Parole program (Susanville, CA) - When his owner collapsed from a low heart rate in a remote wooded area while on a rock hounding expedition, Rocky stayed by his side for 7 ½ hours, licking him to keep him alert and helping slowly guide him back to his truck for help.
Taz, tabby cat rescued as a stray (Lancaster, PA) - During the night, Taz emitted an uncharacteristic cry that woke his owner as a fire spread through the home. It gave him just enough time to wake his fiancé and her daughter and to escape the burning home.
The winner will be announced online June 2.
