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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
