Hero Dogs of 9/11

HERO DOGS of 9/11 Let us never forget September 11, 2001.

It started out as a beautiful Tuesday morning in New York City but quickly turned into hell on earth, as America was attacked. It was on that fateful day that al-Qaeda terrorists perpetrated one of the most horrific acts of violence ever seen against America, when they hijacked and crashed two passenger jets into the World Trade Center.

The two tallest buildings in the world would come crashing down in a matter of hours. Terrifying screams, choking dust and tons of steel and concrete would be the scene of Ground zero. Thousands of innocent Americans would lose their lives that day.

Emergency workers were quickly mobilized to answer the call for help. Among them were 300 hero dogs. They assisted firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and Port Authority officers in the search for life. They risked it all, scouring through the rubble, to help save a life.

And when no other signs of life could be found, these canines continue to then search for the remains of victims, in order to give grief-stricken families some sense of peace.
