Otto, a Neapolitan Mastiff from La Plata, Argentina, became a hero on March 15th, when he saved his owner from two armed robbers who broke into their home. The heroic dog not only saved his owner from being shot, he also scared the criminals away.

Sebastian Delgato has had it very rough this past year.  At 22, he began having seizures and hadn’t been prone to them before.  After some medical testing, he was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer.

“They found a tumor in my head, so I knew I had to get brain surgery,” said Sebastian.

Officer Jerry Popp, from Wilmington, Ohio, did not have a good end to 2014, his dog and work partner, a Belgian Malinois named Karson, went missing on December 22, 2014. The dog escaped the boarding facility he was in while Popp was on vacation and it took the Wilmington Police Department and dozens of volunteers two months to find and capture the K-9.
