"A Tribute to SAR Dogs"
A Tribute to the search dogs of 9/11

While viewing this Tribute to SAR Dogs, remember that although it seemed like the world stopped on September 11, 2001...it did not. As the eyes of the world watched hundreds of SAR dogs and their handlers searching the rubble at the WTC and the Pentagon, all over our country hikers were still getting lost, elderly people suffering from Alzheimer's disease were still wandering off, homicide victims still needed to be found, people were still drowning in lakes, and children were still missing. Hundreds of SAR dogs were searching there too, searching their communities to bring the lost or the missing home to their families and loved ones.

Whether they were at the WTC or searching our own neighborhoods, these hard working dogs provide joy and also closure to thousands of families and will go on, for as long as they can, searching to find loved ones lost or missing in our communities. All of our nation's SAR Dogs are heroes..and someday one could be YOUR HERO!!
