Luna, a six-year-old Husky canine, is hailed as a hero after she pointedly dug a 1 square meter hole that alerted caregiver Jenny Conarroe and six children of a dangerous gas leak in the backyard of their Alberta, Canada home, enabling it to be safely contained.

For her keen intelligence and devotion in protecting her family, Supreme Master Ching Hai is honoring Luna with the Shining World Hero Award, along with US$200 for veg treats, etc.
