To celebrate the art of story telling and the human-dog bond (and because we just love a good dog story), Doghero.com announces the Second Annual Dog Story Contest. The contest is open to non-fiction stories of dog heroes, favorite dogs, and interesting or funny dog stories. The winner will receive $125, second place $75, and third place $50. Fourth and fifth places will each receive a $25. Winning stories (and up to ten honorable mention stories) will be posted on doghero.com. All stories will be considered for publication in a future anthology of dog stories.

Entry deadline is August 1, 2005 and there is no entry fee. Visit www.doghero.com for contest rules and to read last years winning stories.

Doghero.com features the book Canine Courage: The Heroism of Dogs, gifts including Canine Courage T-shirts and mouse pads, plus literature and articles about dogs.

"Canine Courage includes dozens of these stories and retells them is a straightforward, entertaining, and refreshingly unsentimental manner...Canine Courage would be an enjoyable read simply for the retelling of the stories of dog heroics. Add to that the author's examination of why dogs act heroically and it becomes a thought-provoking journey. - "Paws in Review" DogWorld, August 2003, Janine Adams

"I chuckled, I laughed out loud, I marveled, and I shed a few tears reading this book." -- Marilyn Runyan, Ruff Notes
