Calling all heroes! If you, or someone you know,

Animal
Planet has announced the launch of its nationwide search for
Hero
of the Year. Presented in partnership with Fresh Step, part
of the Clorox Pet Products Company, the campaign recognizes and
celebrates animal lovers across the United States who "invest
their time, talent, and spirit" to help animals in their communities.
Anyone who works to improve animal welfare, from
veterinarians to a neighbor who helps strays, is eligible for nomination.
The winner will receive a trip to Hawaii for two, and Animal Planet
will donate $10,000 to his or her favorite animal-related charity.
All entrants (persons submitting entries) and nominees
must be legal residents of the United States or the District of
Columbia, and 18 years of age or older as of March 15, 2006. Self-nominations
are accepted. Official rules and entry forms are available on the
Animal
Planet web site. Deadline for entries is August 27, 2006.
