We've got a heroic hound who could use your help.

Yogi is the golden retriever who saved his owner's life this past October.

KVUE's story about him made national news.

Paul Horton was riding his bike near Lake Travis with Yogi running by his side when Paul fell, landing on his head. He was paralyzed.

Yogi stayed by Paul's side until he woke up and told Yogi to go home. Instead Yogi went to the top of the trail and barked furiously until someone noticed and then led them to Paul.

Yogi is now being recognized nationally by the Humane Society as a finalist for its Dog of Valor Award, but he needs your votes to win.
