Kenai will be awarded the Hero Award at Colorado’s Animal Heroes, held Thursday, Oct. 8, 2009, at Saint Cajetan’s on the Auraria Campus in downtown Denver.

Kenai is a Bernese Mountain Dog who started whimpering in the early morning hours alerting her sleeping owners to a dangerous situation. Several people in the house were feeling nauseous when they woke due to dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide in the home. If it were not for Kenai’s whimpering, the owners may not have woken up to discover the dangerous situation and get everyone to safety. Kenai embodies the spirit of a Colorado’s Animal Hero because of her heroic actions in saving the lives of her owners and the others in the house.

This is just one story that will be shared at the Colorado’s Animal Heroes ceremony which will feature eight award honorees. There is still time to reserve your seat for this extraordinary event. Tickets are complimentary but you must RSVP as seating is limited. All donations are appreciated.
