Hough Promotes Hero Dog Awards

Julianne Hough kicked off a voting campaign for the “Hero Dog Awards” at Manhattan’s VA Medical Center where she visited patients with therapy dogs and performed. The contest presented by Cesar Canine Cusine is intended to celebrate heroic dogs that help transform lives by providing comfort and support. Votes can be cast at www.HeroDogAwards.org. For each vote cast Cesar will make a donation to the American Humane Association.

During her VA Medical Center performance Hough told patients the very first song she ever sang in public was “How Much is that Doggie in the Window.” She also talked about being on the road and away from her family while filming, and how being with her dogs Lexi and Harley is truly her safe place.
