What Our Heroes Are Saying
They [The Hero Pups Team] just do really good things out of the kindness of their heart. Frank [Rick’s dog] has helped us quite a bit.
[My hero pup] is like a really affordable, really hairy therapist! I tell [my dog] things I don’t even tell my wife
Over the past few months [our hero pup] has been a great companion. She doesn’t judge, she doesn’t care, it’s unconditional. She doesn’t care where I’ve been or what I’ve done. She’s a gentle giant.
[My hero pup] has helped me a lot already, I had panic attacks and I was glad he was there to help me out just by being able to comfort me.
Me and the dog cuddle and lay on the floor together all the time, he’s like a big giant teddy bear that licks your face!
(Our Hero Pup) is so wonderful and continues to bring us joy every day. Thank you so very much!!
