The Third Annual Dogs of Valor Awards celebrate the human-animal bond by honoring dogs who have exhibited an extraordinary sense of courage or resolve by heroically helping a person in need.  This year's Top Ten Finalists were chosen based on the significance and impact of their heroic actions.

Our panel of celebrity judges, including Kristen Bell, Sally Pressman, and Jay Kopelman, will choose the Valor Dog of the Year and two Runner’s Up.
