Trace Dog is Top 10 Finalist

Voting opened today for Sanford, North Carolina's Prozac! Voting ends on March 12th and the Top Dog will be announced on March 15th. Click to Vote Prozac is the hero dog of Fred and Barbara Berman who live at Carolina Trace. Prozac has been nominated by the Humane Society of the U.S. as a Top Ten finalist for the Dogs of Valor Award. Prozie as he’s often called, is the only dog in North Carolina to be nominated for this national award. Prozie has helped save the lives of three women at Carolina Trace. Most recently, Carol Spade was dog-sitting for the Bermans. At 2:00AM, Prozie alerted Spade and her granddaughter of the noises in her attic. Unfortunately, those noises were the start of a tragic fire that burned Spade’s home to the ground. Spade and her granddaughter are doing just fine now. Also in 2009, Prozie was visiting Fred’s 94 year-old Aunt Dorothy who lives with cousin Lee and Max Amcher in the Golf East neighborhood at Trace, and she was also saved. Prozac was barking crazily in Aunt Dorothy’s room and Max sought out the dog to discover the reason for the barking. It turned out that Aunt Dorothy was gasping for breath. All is well now, thanks to the special talents of this hero dog. The public is invited to vote for their top Dog of Valor. Go Prozac!
