Adoption graduate, Lucy, in her new home. This beautiful girl was found with one leg through a neck collar imbedded in her underarm area. After a huge amount of wound care, trial & error, and prayers this girl finally healed and was taken home. She loves scratches, following the dog around, and just hanging out with her family.

Happy Fall y’all! 🍁🍂

On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers fell and roughly 300 search and rescue dogs were sent into the wreckage with their handlers. They came from FEMA task forces across the country and from volunteers who drove through the night. Bretagne, a golden retriever with Texas Task Force 1, was two years old. Trakr, a German shepherd, rode down from Nova Scotia with a Canadian police officer. Every dog had been trained for one job: find a living person, then get the reward.

Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks. Twenty were pulled from the pile alive, the last on September 12, about 27 hours after the collapse. Trakr is credited with helping locate her. Then the finds stopped. The dogs worked 12 hour shifts on steel that stayed hot for months. Trakr collapsed after two days from smoke inhalation, exhaustion, and burns. Veterinarian Cynthia Otto, from Pennsylvania, spent 10 days treating paws and eyes on site and said most injuries were minor. The damage was mental. The dogs searched for hours and found only the dead.

Otto put it plainly: "When they train, they don't search for hours without finding anybody." Handlers watched the dogs lose drive. Rescuers cleared the pile, asked for volunteers, and hid police officers in the rubble. NYPD officer Famiglietti was one of them: "They told us to lie down like we were hurt. They then sent all the dogs in, and the dogs started barking, and life came back; everyone was clapping." The mock finds were repeated whenever motivation fell. In between, the dogs did the job nobody had trained them for. They located remains in spaces no human could reach, so that families could identify and bury their dead.

The site closed on May 30, 2002. Otto then tracked 95 of the deployed dogs for 15 years against 55 dogs that never went. They showed no rise in cancer or lung disease and outlived their breed averages. Bretagne worked Hurricanes Ivan and Rita, then read with schoolchildren in retirement. She died on June 6, 2016, at 16, the last known 9/11 search dog.

Today is the 25th anniversary. None of the Ground Zero dogs is alive. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum keeps the record of the mock finds. Otto directs the Penn Vet Working Dog Center, which opened on September 11, 2012, and trains new dogs for the next disaster.

They found no one alive after the first day, so the living hid and let themselves be found.

On this day 25 years ago the world changed… we would like to remember all of the fallen of 9/11. All of the civilians, all of the first responders, all of the heroes, but also all of the service dogs.
All of the service dogs who worked tirelessly for hours, days, and weeks searching, helping, and just being.
Hug your loved ones on this day and
