"As part of its mission to honor first responders, the Foundation works to place colorful, 6-foot-tall, metal Dalmatian puppy sculptures, named “R. Hero,” across the country at fire stations, museums, children’s hospitals and parks. These sculptures serve as a conversation starter for children and their parents, caregivers and teachers about the traits of a hero – courage, respect, honor and compassion for others.

There are currently 26 unique “R. Hero” sculptures across 14 states, with an international placement in El Salvador. Each sculpture placement is accompanied by a dedication event, honoring local heroes and giving community members, adults and youth alike, the opportunity to interact with the first responders in their area."
