Dog In Running For Valor Award

Dan Fincher's dog Ceili, an elderly lab-mix licks his face, in Portland, Ore., Wednesday. Ceili is up for a Humane Society of the United States dog valor award -- one of 10 finalists -- for pestering him hours before he had a heart attack and then barking and running for help. In a daze after the attack, Fincher, tried to crawl up the stairs, but the dog tugged him down then ran into a back room where his wife, Gayle Jewell, was watching television.
