Meet the dogs who searched for life amongst the ruins of the Twin
Towers. Many heroes were made on 9/11 and in the weeks that
followed. Not all of them showed human courage. Some of them could
only show that they were truly man's best friend. German Shepherds,
Labradors and Spaniels accounted for the majority of the
four-legged heroes. Over three hundred search and rescue dogs
worked the pile at Ground Zero and the crash site at the Pentagon.
For hours they searched, fighting off exhaustion with sheer
determination and they continued every day long after the hope of
finding survivors had passed. There were faithful Guide dogs who
helped their sightless owners out of the Twin Towers and led them
to safety showed unstinting devotion in the face of adversity. And
later, therapy dogs arrived to bring comfort to the bereaved and
confused. At every stage of the operation, dogs were there helping
humankind in various roles. And invaluably, they provided comfort
and reassurance and lifted spirits by their pure presence. Sadly
many of the dogs are no longer with us but their achievements will
never be forgotten. Isabel George was fortunate that the people
close to the dogs were pleased to be asked to share their stories.
This book is to honour the dogs and their people.
