Hero Dog Gets Medal for Sniffing Out Potential Trouble

Len Lamberg's dog, Becky, was honored with a certificate and a medal from Wind Point Village President Bill Bensman for sniffing out potential trouble.

Back in January, Lamberg was out with Becky - a deaf, mixed breed dog whom Lamberg rescued years ago - for their evening walk when she started worrying at something on the street. .

While homes and residents weren't in any danger, WE Energies got the leak repaired and credited Becky's nose for the alert.

"I think she's a hero," Lamberg said. "She might be deaf, but her nose works just fine."
