Dog Involved In ISIS Leader Raid Heads To White House.
CABRERA: When he was 20 years old, Richard Miles was wrongfully convicted and locked up in a Texas prison for 15 years. After a full exoneration and starting his life over in his mid-30s, Richard is now using his newfound freedom to help others transform their lives after leaving prison. Meet one of our incredible top-10 heroes for 2019.</s>RICHARD MILES, CNN HERO: My mom would always tell me, when you look out the window, don't look at the bars, look at the sky. I could change my perception within the place of incarnation. At the end of the day, be confident in your change. The idea really started from inside. People get out and they come right back in. I said, if I ever get out, man, we are going to start a program and we are going to help people. Acknowledgement, transparency and forgiveness. These are the three essential things we need when we're coming back home.</s>CABRERA: Richard's program, "Miles of Freedom," has helped approximately one thousand people restart their lives.

Speaking of heroes, he's arguably the world's most famous dog thanks to the raid that took out the world's most-wanted man. We now know him as Conan. He's headed for the White House next week. Here's Jeanne Moos.</s>JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): We no longer have to say a generic "good boy." The good boy's name is Conan, like the comedian who tweeted, "That dog is clearly the better Conan." It's enough to make a studio audience say --</s>JAMES CORDEN, CBS HOST: I know, I like this.</s>MOOS: "Very cute recreation," is how the president described the Photoshopped image he shared, "but the live version of Conan will be leaving the Middle East for the White House sometime next week." The Photoshop is based on an actual Metal of Honor recipient. James McCloughan was a medic in Vietnam. His head was replaced by the dog's, leaving some to wonder how James McCloughan feels about this?</s>JAMES MCCLOUGHAN, MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT: The first time I looked at it, I thought, well, they're paying tribute to a dog that did something very brave and very heroic.</s>MOOS: And when the dog visits the White House --</s>MCCLOUGHAN: Maybe the president will invite me in, too, to say hi to the dog.</s>MOOS: The dog is fully recovering after touching electrical cables while hunting down the leader of ISIS. Apparently, one good Photoshop begets another, from Putin putting a medal on President Trump, to the dog giving the president a medal labeled "Zero." Even son, Eric, tweeted out a version. (on camera): The Trump campaign is doggedly raising funds off Conan, the canine -- (voice-over): -- selling USA camo dog bandanas for $15. Conan was a hit on late night.</s>JAMES CORDEN, LATE NIGHT SHOW HOST: If you look closely enough, you can practically hear Donald Trump whispering to the dog, "You know, a doctor can get you out of military service, right?"</s>MOOS (on camera): Given the president's penchant for magnificent fast-food buffets, can't wait to see what Conan gets fed at the White House. (voice-over): Some were already imagining. Like other heroes, Conan is likely to get patted and even hugged. As for pet owners who wonder, do you think my dog could be trained for such greatness? Oh sure, that dog will take orders for a latte. Jeanne Moos,</s>CNN -- TRUMP: A beautiful dog, a talented dog.</s>MOOS: -- New York.</s>CABRERA: I'm Ana Cabrera, in New York.
