Hero To The Line

01/03/2026

Today we had the honor of giving Tony Pierino his new yellow lab pup through Hero to the Line. Huge thank you to Slater Kennels, and especially William for donating this dog and for taking the time to work his own lab and show some of the training and skills firsthand. It was awesome for our recipients to see what these dogs are capable of.
Welcome to the HTTL family, Tony, this is just the beginning

🐾 Weekly Pupdate!
Sharing a throwback from teal season — one of our HTTL recipient teams wrapped it up strong with some great retrieves and even better memories. These moments in the field are what it’s all about: teamwork, purpose, and connection through the bond between veteran and dog. 💛🦆

🐾 Weekly P-Update 🦆
Several Hero to the Line members met up this week at the Ducks Unlimited Killeen Dinner — and luck was definitely on our side! 🎟️ We walked away with some great wins and plenty of laughs, all while connecting with an amazing community that supports conservation and camaraderie.

🐕‍🦺 Blake proudly represented Hero to the Line, meeting tons of kids and guests, soaking up attention, and having an absolute blast all night!

We love seeing our HTTL family out making memories — both two- and four-legged alike. 💛
