On September 11, 2001, countless heroes answered the call to help—and among them were brave search-and-rescue dogs who worked tirelessly through unimaginable conditions. Today, we honor these remarkable four-legged heroes and the important role they played during one of America’s darkest days.

More than 300 specially trained dogs joined rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Sadly, few people were found. Not finding survivors the dogs became visibly discouraged. Handlers hid rescuer workers in the debris, giving the dogs someone to actually find. ❤️ I got to meet some of these dogs.

I also remember the cadaver dogs were affected by the dead of the fall of the twin towers. Cadaver dogs are trained to find deceased bodies. The smell of death was everywhere, they couldn't find any bodies. They had to take the dogs out of the area.

When dogs have a job to do and cannot do their job, stress sets in. We see it in our companion dogs when they don't get to do "nose work".
