THE PROGRAM, FOUNDED THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF PHILANTHROPIST AND PASSIONATE VETERANS ADVOCATE, LOIS POPE, OFFERS MEANINGFUL SUPPORT TO OUR VETERANS WITH TWO KEY AREAS OF FOCUS: FIRST, PROVIDING LIFESAVING SERVICE DOGS (PUPS4PATRIOTS) TO VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS SUFFERING FROM POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS (PTS) AND/OR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI); SECOND, REUNITING RETIRED MILITARY WORKING DOGS WITH THEIR FORMER HANDLERS.AMERICAN HUMANE HERO DOG AWARDS THE AMERICAN HUMANE HERO DOG AWARDS IS AN ANNUAL, NATIONWIDE COMPETITION THAT SEARCHES OUT AND RECOGNIZES AMERICA'S HERO DOGS OFTEN ORDINARY DOGS WHO DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS, WHETHER IT'S SAVING LIVES ON THE BATTLEFIELD, LENDING SIGHT OR HEARING TO A HUMAN COMPANION, OR HELPING PEOPLE ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. DOGS ARE HONORED IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES FOR THE HERO DOG AWARDS: LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDER DOGS THIS CATEGORY BROADLY INCLUDES DOGS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO FIRST RESPONDERS, THAT SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC, AND THAT FIND THE MISSING AND VICTIMS OF DISASTERS. LAW ENFORCEMENT DOGS' ABILITY TO HELP PROTECT THEIR HUMAN HANDLERS, THWART LAWBREAKERS, AND FIND EVIDENCE MAKES THEM TRUE PARTNERS TO FIRST RESPONDERS. SCENT DETECTIONS DOGS CAN ACCURATELY DETECT A VARIETY OF TARGETS, INCLUDING CORRECTLY IDENTIFYING A MULTITUDE OF DISEASES AND FLORA AND FAUNA, AND ARE USED TO DETECT ILLICIT SUBSTANCES, DRUGS, FIRE ACCELERANTS, FIREARMS, OR EXPLOSIVES.

STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT AAT LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE, REDUCES STRESS AND ENHANCES A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO ACHIEVE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLNESS. MILITARY DOGS MILITARY WORKING DOGS FIRST ENTERED THE SERVICE IN 1942 TO SERVE IN THE ARMY'S K-9 CORPS. TODAY, THESE DOGS ARE STILL PLAYING AN ACTIVE ROLE IN SEARCHING FOR EXPLOSIVES AND SEIZING ENEMIES. MILITARY WORKING DOGS HAVE BEEN USED BY THE U.S. ARMED FORCES SINCE WORLD WAR I. IN WORLD WAR II, 436 SCOUT DOGS WALKED COMBAT PATROLS OVERSEAS, OFTEN DETECTING THE ENEMY AT 1,000 YARDS, LONG BEFORE THE ENEMY BECAME AWARE OF THEM. DOGS CONTINUED TO SERVE WITH DISTINCTION IN OTHER CONFLICTS, SUCH AS KOREA, WHERE THE ARMY USED ABOUT 1,500 DOGS, PRIMARILY FOR GUARD DUTY. DURING THE VIETNAM WAR, NEARLY 4,000 DOGS WERE EMPLOYED AND, OFFICIALLY, 281 WERE KILLED IN ACTION. TODAY'S CONFLICTS INCLUDE DOGS AT EVERY LEVEL, STILL SERVING OUR COUNTRY, HELPING TO PROTECT OUR TROOPS. EMERGING HERO AND SHELTER DOGS JUST AS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOR AND SCIENCE IS EVER EXPANDING, SO TOO DO THE AMAZING STORIES OF THE HUMAN ANIMAL BOND IN ACTION. DOGS IN THIS CATEGORY CAN BE NOMINATED FOR DOING HEROIC DEEDS, LARGE OR SMALL; FOR OVERCOMING DIFFICULT ODDS; OR BY HAVING A REMARKABLE RESCUE STORY LIKE THE MILLIONS OF HOMELESS DOGS IN SHELTERS, ON THE STREETS, OR NEEDING HELP FROM UNFAVORABLE SITUATIONS.
