2009 Hero of the Year Award Winner



I feel great esteem to write this posting. Now, while I am terrible at updating everyone about Emmett's life, we received some special news today about our big guy.
Emmett was named the 2009 Diamond Collar Hero of the Year for his service to the community and his ability to survive against all odds by the Oregon Humane Society. The prestigious award ceremony will take place in February at the Governor's Hotel. We are very proud of him and grateful to Jake Faris from Spot Magazine for nominating him.

To think that three years ago, we thought Emmett would not reach his first birthday, these years have proved all prior doubts wrong.

He has not only taught me more about strength of character and determination, but to countless others who have read his stories or seen him in action throughout the world. He is jovial, rambunctious and full of perseverance.
He is our Emmett -- Emmett the Great!
