Even when Tara's writing goes to the dogs, we get a story about a true American hero! 😜

Another hero dog account! Love these stories, Tara. It’s too bad that Chips was denied the medals he so richly deserved. Not sure why anyone would object to bestowing honor on such a courageous animal. It would have meant a lot to his family. Wonder if they honor law enforcement canines?

Thank you Tara. I agree with others. Why would anyone object to giving a meritorious award to a deserving dog. In my house, dogs are people too.

Chips was an amazing dog and it isn't too late to remedy this wrong.

What a great story. Dogs are the most loving and protective animal we can ever hope to have.

🇺🇸 A hero if ever there was one. I don't equate animal and human life, but Chips deserved his medals. Thanks for sharing his story, TR 🇺🇸
