What Our Heroes Are Saying

They [The Hero Pups Team] just do really good things out of the kindness of their heart. Frank [Rick’s dog] has helped us quite a bit.

-Rick, Rescue Fire 1 Magazine

[My hero pup] is like a really affordable, really hairy therapist! I tell [my dog] things I don’t even tell my wife

-Jeff Prince, Chronicle

Over the past few months [our hero pup] has been a great companion. She doesn’t judge, she doesn’t care, it’s unconditional. She doesn’t care where I’ve been or what I’ve done. She’s a gentle giant.

-Hero Pup Recipient

[My hero pup] has helped me a lot already, I had panic attacks and I was glad he was there to help me out just by being able to comfort me.

-Hero Pup Recipient

Me and the dog cuddle and lay on the floor together all the time, he’s like a big giant teddy bear that licks your face!
