SPCA of Texas Spotlight.

Hero Saves The Day (Apparently).

Each week, we team up with our friends at The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Texas (SPCA of Texas) to showcase a different animal that's in need of a loving home. We'll check out the animal, learn about its personality, do a short “interview,” take some cute pictures and report back to you on our findings. If any of the animals shown are to your liking, remember: They need loving homes free from abuse. If that sounds like your home, help them out.

This week, we met up Hero for a quick interview. As always, this pet is currently up for adoption at the SPCA of Texas (2400 Lone Star Drive; 214-742-7722).

Well, hey there, Hero! It's nice to meet you!
Likewise. It is always nice to meet a fair citizen of this metropolis that I protect.

Excuse me?
I know that this is uncharacteristic of a super hero, but I will say it: I, Hero the dog, am the secret identity of the caped crusader of this city, HeroDog!

Wait, what? You're a super hero? Those are real?
Yes.

Why have I never heard of you before then?
Well, I… are you sure… ummmm… I mean… Woof? I'm just a regular dog. Woof.

TELL ME YOUR STORY, HERO.
Woof.
