Mt Pleasant SC Dog Boarding Recommendation

We came across this heart-warming information concerning heroic actions of dogs and how they were honored. At Pet Keepers Mt Pleasant SC Dog Boarding Kennel, we see terrific canine boarding (or K9 Boarding if you wish) every day. We feel that each of these boarding dogs would rise to the occasion if needed. We feel that our dog cat kennels (using the appropriate kennel sizes) would do very well when compared with local kennels. That being said, let’s get to the winners that were not in our K9 kennels.

The guests of honor wore black ties and arrived in limousines. They walked the yellow carpet - on all fours. A "black collar" ceremony was held in New York City. This was a tribute to professionally trained service dogs for their contributions to the community through the Pedigree Paws to Recognize program. You are right, none of these heroes used our doggie boarding in our boarding kennels.

Jacko, an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois, took home top honors as the 2005 Canine of the Year for his work to protect America's borders with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Career stats:
1. Alerted authorities of a scheme to smuggle 49 people inside wooden boxes on two flatbed trailers into the United States.
2. Detected more 9 pounds of heroin, 32,000 pounds of marijuana, and 800 pounds of cocaine.

Noteable Nominees
Jenner, a golden retriever. He works as a guide dog for the blind and as a hospital volunteer in San Francisco.
Keyotae, a volunteer search-and-rescue bloodhound who is on call 24 hours a day.
Shug, a golden retriever that comforts patients through her work as a therapy dog at various hospitals.
Boris, a Belgian Malinois and military dog who served in Bosnia, Kosovo and most recently Iraq, where he was a morale booster for lonely and homesick soldiers.

Over 50,000 people voted online for the dog they felt most deserved the title of Canine of the Year. All canine heroes received medals-of-honor and each dog's paw print was placed in cement. The prints were then added to the Hollywood-style "Pedigree Paws of Fame" in Los Angeles.

A new award, "Everyday Heroes", category, honoring non-service dogs and people who exemplify a love for dogs through their work showed:
Pepper, the winner, a 3-year-old pointer/healer mix from San Antonio who, despite a fear of water, saved his family's two children who were caught in a riptide.
Dave Breen of Sierra Vista, Ariz., who has rescued more than 250 greyhounds through his self-started, not-for-profit organization.
