It turns out that being a hero is not only for grown-ups, and more and more kids all over the world are proving that they are also capable of accomplishing this enormous role. Kids, more than anyone else, know that the world needs more heroes; that is why they are doing their best to become heroes in their own ways to make this world a better place.
One such kid who has the same desire is a seven-year-old kid named Roman McConn, and with the help of his mom, he made it his life mission to save neglected dogs.
The dogs on the top of his list (and his heart) are the shelter dogs on the euthanasia list who would lose their lives without experiencing someone’s love. Roman’s mom, Sully, fully supported his son’s new-found mission and became his partner in saving dogs’ lives and help them find a new family and new life.
With a shared love for neglected dogs, the mother and son established the Project Freedom Ride, an organization that helps unwanted dogs in Texas and Georgia find new families in Pacific Northwest. Their organization provides funding, networking, and adoption assistance for its partners to save as many animals as they can and offer them a second chance in life — before everything gets too late.
The matching between dogs and families becomes easier as Roman and Scully make a video for each dog and clearly explain their personalities. In each video, the jolly Roman can be seen interacting with the dogs, so families that could potentially adopt them would see the dogs’ behaviors and a glimpse of their personality. So far, their efforts have resulted in 1,300 dogs and 40 cats being saved from neglect and death. And this noble effort is just the beginning of their journey in saving more animals in the future.
Roman’s passion and dedication in his efforts were so amazing and inspiring that he was recognized as the ‘Kid of the Year’ by the American Society or the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
And while Roman is truly happy for this recognition, what’s more, important to him is to save more neglected animals every day and help them find new families that they deserve.
