On May 22, 1010, Mayor of Philadelphia Michael Nutter named me the "2010 Humane Educator of the Year!" I was the first Pit Bull to be recognized by the Mayor for my work to create safe and humane communities in Philadelphia!! I received my award at Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia's "Super Adoption Day."
My parents carried me onto the stage, where I was joined by my old friend Hector the Pit Bull, who traveled all the way from Animal Farm Foundation in New York to celebrate with me! 
Here's my plaque, which reads: " To Sarge: For his kind and caring spirit and his significant contributions to educating the people of Philadelphia about animal welfare."
Although my name was on the plaque, this award was really for ALL THE DOGS who work so hard to change minds and open hearts.
Here are some fun paparazzi shots from this special day!!
