Dog Hero Stories

Calling All Amazing Service Dog Handlers

September is National Service Dog Month — a month-long recognition that honors the dogs that have a career helping humans.

Join us in celebrating the extraordinary bond between you and your service dog. We invite you to participate in an upcoming story for CCL by sharing your unique stories of the loyal service dog in your life. Tell us how your four-legged hero plays a pivotal role in your life, providing support, love, and lifesaving assistance.

Do you have a touching tale of how your service dog has helped you? Or maybe you want to share a message of gratitude to your amazing dog. We want to hear from you. Share your inspiring stories for a chance for it to be published in our September 2024 issue of Colorado Country Life.

Writers of all published stories will receive $50.
