HERO DOGS by Sarah Raplee

Hi, I'm Sarah Raplee, Paranormal Romantic Suspense author and lifelong animal lover! Animals, mostly dogs, show up as characters in nearly all of my stories. I decided to honor 3 Canine Heroes by sharing their amazing tales with you. At the end of my post, find out how YOU CAN VOTE for the winner of the 
2016 American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards!

ASPCA 2015 Dog of the Year
A golden retriever Guide Dog named Figo was honored for his courage and loyalty in the face of danger. He literally threw himself in front of a bus to protect his mistress. They don't teach that in Guide Dog Training! Check out his You Tube Video.
