Hero was my parents Fidelo foster puppy back in 2011-2012. He was a quirky, energetic pup who didn't fit the bill as a guide dog...but when he became a CT State K9 Officer we were so proud! SO imagine how proud we are NOW that he has been nonminated for the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards™

K9 “Hero” finds missing three year-old
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. A child goes missing for no apparent reason. In an instant, fear turns smiles and happiness into panic and despair.
In the case of a three year-old boy who wandered off into the woods following a stray puppy, the outcome could have been much worse without the search and rescue effort of a Connecticut State Police K9 appropriately named “Hero.”
After searching the area for more than two hours with friends, neighbors and local police officers, Connecticut State Police K9 “Hero” was called into action with his handler Trooper Mike Zella.
“Hero” was given a scent article by the missing boy’s mother and Trooper Zella sent “Hero” on a search of the deep woods. “Hero” carefully worked through the area previously contaminated by the well-intentioned human search party seeking the boy’s scent. Following his training and his nose, “Hero” quickly located the boy wandering another trail around a pond.
Trooper Zella said, "without “Hero”, the outcome could have been much worse. "Hero" is a godsend and has not only assisted me in finding missing people, he also excels at apprehending criminals." Appropriately named at birth by his breeder, the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, “Hero” was provided to the Connecticut State Police.
