<p>[QUOTE="Circus, post: 2787515, member: 51195"]The national might not have any info or even know of the award. Your best bet would be the local city/town chapter that gave it to him. You may also want to check the local papers for the time around it was given to him if you know that can cut down on the amount of time in searching. Or you can check with one of the on line newspaper dead file web sites, they do charge a fee for use of their on line data bases. Also check with the local office of the SPCA, since they would have been the ones looking for a story about a person and animal to give the award too. </p><p>Since you already have the story, which is a plus in having the medal, you can always replace the ribbon and type up the story along with a photos of the dog and your dad and pick up a nice frame and mat @ Hobby Lobby They have a 40% off coupon on their web site weekly. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think you are way ahead of the family keepsake game if you never find out anything else. The awards were mainly a fund raising device for the locality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
