The American Hero Dog of the Year, a chihuahua named Harley, was abused in a puppy mill for 10 years and lost one of his eyes. Now he has become a symbol of saving abused pets.
Axel, another German shepherd, won the Service Hero Dog award. His owner, retired Marine captain Jason Haag, was diagnosed with brain injuries and stress after two combat tours.
He credits Axel with helping him return to normal life.
"These guys here are life-saving and life-changing. For somebody who abuses animals, they are stopping somebody else from changing their lives," said Haag.
The American Humane Association's Robin Ganzert says every hero dog has a unique and inspiring story.
"These animals make us humans better," said Ganzert.
