The Hero Fund is dedicated to the memory of a wonderful dog who died on May 24, 2004. The Fund is aimed at assisting chained or penned dogs who are rescued from human brutality and who require special care.

An annual donation is made in May of each year by an individual in Montreal.

Other donations to The Hero Fund will go toward helping dogs like Hero.

On Canada’s Victoria Day holiday, 2004, a sweet canine soul died in Montreal after a long period of utter neglect. On that Monday afternoon she was found locked in a used car lot, in very poor condition after suffering unseen since the previous Friday.

She was known and loved by some in the neighborhood and previous efforts to get her help had failed. For several months the agency that claims to be the city’s primary animal welfare group had refused to make an effort on her behalf.

For resilience in the face of human cruelty, she was given the name “Hero.”

During her final hours she knew some love and affection, feelings she may have never experienced before. A group of people tried hard, through numerous channels, to save her. Sadly all efforts fell short that evening when she was callously “euthanized.”

Though she usually demonstrated initial fear and distrust of strangers, those who came to know her and love her will always remember her joy at greeting them and her incredible pride and determination in the face of the injustice that she was forced to endure. Her limitless spirit inspires us ever more strongly to help all neglected dogs and to work much harder to spark human compassion for all animal suffering.

May she rest in love and peace.
