The pup was rescued back in 2011 and adopted by Rudi and her husband, Dan. "It was just four years ago that he was pulled from the cage in the puppy mill and left to die," Harley's owner, Rudi, said during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to Today. com. "We never would have ever thought he would live this long and make such a difference for so many puppies. "

　　The dog was one of eight finalists up for the American Hero Dog and was chosen as the winner through public votes. The finalists all won $ 1,500 to be donated to one of American Humane Association' s charity partners, with Harley receiving another

　　$ 5 ,000 to go toward his charity partner, New Leash On Life.

　　According to the release, Harley spent 10 years at the puppy mill, and endured rough

　　treatment there,

　　which led to his many medical issues.

　　He lost his eye as a result of his cage being power-washed with him inside.

　　The dog isn't just the face of his campaign, he also goes on rescue missions and makes public appearances at events and schools to raise awareness for puppy mills.

　　This incredible work is all due to the dog' s fighting spirit.

　　That spirit is allowing him now to be the voice for dogs who cannot speak for themselves and give everybody hope that tomorrow's going to be a better day.
