That’s an article from a while back about many of the search/rescue dogs from that day. I’ve heard all kinds of things about them - working 12+hrs for 10+ days straight. Search/rescue dogs becoming very upset and almost unable to work bc they were trained to find people who were alive, but found so many dead. I read that some handlers had to hide from them and let them ‘find’ them so they could keep working. Stories about cadaver dogs that started signaling just entering the city. And of course - some emotional support dogs to help keep moral up.
Anyway - this photographer did some pictures and a bit of story about them. Bros indeed.

I remember watching the Westminster dog show the year after 9/11 happened. Before the final awards they paid tribute to the dogs that helped during the rescue, and officers brought out the dogs into the ring. I cried like a baby.
