A courageous canine from Tampa is in the running to become America’s 2024 Hero Dog. American Humane officially announced the top 25 semi-finalists in its annual Hero Dog Awards. Justice, a six-year-old black Lab, is one of the top five dogs in the “service dog” category. The four-legged champion came into her owner’s life in February 2020, according to a press release. At the time, handler Mike was in a dark place, “nearly becoming one of the ‘22′ veterans lost to suicide daily.” With Justice by his side, he began to reclaim his life, even celebrating the birth of his first grandchild. Now, Justice and Mike are committed to helping others overcome PTSD and embrace the healing power of service dogs and you can vote for Justice to become America’s 2024 Hero Dog.
