There were more than 400,000 ballots cast nationwide to choose eight winners. The categories include: Law Enforcement and Arson Dogs; Service Dogs; Therapy Dogs; Military Dogs; Guide Dogs; Search and Rescue Dogs; Hearing Dogs, and Emerging Hero Dogs (ordinary dogs who do extraordinary things).
These eight finalists were flown to Beverly Hills with their human handlers, to walk the red carpet and be presented with a special Hero Dog award, following moving video tributes that bring their stories to life. Capping off the evening, one of the eight finalists will be announced as the winning American Hero Dog of the year.
Hallmark Channel's Original Movie You Lucky Dog will air at 10:00 p.m. ET.
