The American Humane Society hosted the 14th Annual Hero Dog Awards at The Breakers, celebrating five dogs.

The nationwide competition recognized canines in numerous categories.

Bo, a Bloodhound, was crowned the overall winner for his life-saving tracking abilities.

The gala, hosted by ambassadors Christie Brinkley and Carson Kressley, also marked a milestone for the American Humane Society as it unveiled a rebranding and introduction of their international Global Humane Society.

Proceeds from the evening supported the organization’s emergency rescue efforts for animals impacted by the California wildfires.
