The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, announced the winners of their 2009 Humane Awards today in a news release. Alayne and I were honored to win their Henry Bergh Award, named for the ASPCA's founder. As of this afternoon the ASPCA had not posted the 2009 award winners on their Web site, but they had sent out a news release to national media, and you can read it here.
The ASPCA will be flying Alayne back to New York City for the awards luncheon at the end of the month.
Of course, we're thrilled and humbled by the award, and delighted for the recognition it brings the special animals at the ranch!
