NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Sgt. Bo, a therapy dog who provided trauma support to students following the Covenant School shooting has been named the winner of the American Humane Society (AHS) Hero Dog Awards.
This 4-year-old pup recently retired from the Metro Nashville Police Department and brought comfort to survivors only a few months into his service as a therapy dog.
"His calm presence and gentle spirit left an imprint on hearts that remember him to this day—his impact was immediate, and his legacy continues to heal," the American Humane Society wrote on his page.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
