And the 2012 Animal Planet People's Choice Pawscar Goes to...

Winter from Dolphin Tale!

When the true story of Winter the dolphin with her prosthetic tail was made into an inspirational film called Dolphin Tale, the whole world took notice. It's incredible that Winter was able to beat the odds that were stacked against her and live a wonderful life with her new tail. And now she lives that life, encouraging people of all ages and walks of life, including children with disabilities and returning veterans with severe injuries, to find hope within themselves. Winter beautifully illustrates what the human-animal bond is all about.

Thanks to all who voted and thank you to the American Humane Association for their work with animals and organizing this year's Pawscars!
