Do you know a Canine Kingdom Hero Dog?
Canine Kingdom Hero Dogs come in all different forms. There is Tsunami, the world famous hero dog, who was one of the first volunteer Search and Rescue dogs on the scene at the World Trade Center in NYC following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. She and her handler Hal Wilson scaled the burning wreckage searching for victims. Then there is Bailey. Born at a puppy mill, sent to a pet shop where he spent the first 6 months of his life, only to be bounced around 8 different homes thereafter.He was cast aside, crated for 10 hours a day, and deemed untrainable. His coat was a matted, the muscles in his legs had atrophied. He had been rejected by everyone who had ever known him, but he kept the faith. He was finally adopted by Mary Beth Close, the founder of this site. He was house trained in less than three weeks, was never again confined in a crate, and after months of short walks, Bailey regained his muscle tone and his spirit. Today he is a beloved family dog who brings smiles to everyone who meets him. A true hero.

As both founder and a loving dog parent, I know how confusing and expensive it can be to buy products for our dogs. Many dog products are ineffective, low quality, and even unsafe. Our product research and professional coaching divisions are designed to make dog product shopping as well as solving common problems much easier for every dog parent.
