Stow police dog Nero to be recognized as hero
Stow — Normally, the American Red Cross Acts of Courage Awards go to people.
This year, though, a dog will be recognized, too.
Nero, a Stow police dog who helped capture a suspect in a gas station robbery, will be honored at the 14th annual ceremony scheduled for March 2.
The German Shepherd will be singled out in the new “animal hero” category along with 14 people at the event.




The German Shepherd Dog, also known as Alsatian is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany which dates back in 1899. Developed originally for herding sheep but because of their strength, intelligence and abilities in obedience training, today they are often employed as police war dogs.
