Every year as we move away from the events of 9/11, I find the images of the towers falling don’t impact the way they use to. I now try to focus on individual stories from that day to help remind me of the emotions I felt. This year I want to focus on the dogs of 9/11

The most famous dog from that day was Bretagne. She was the last known SAR dog that was at ground zero. She also worked rescue missions at Katrina and Ivan. One of her greatest contributions was acting as a spokesperson for the dogs of 9/11. She died on June 7, 2016

Sirius is the only known K9 death. He was an explosive detection K9. He was in the S tower when the N tower was hit. His handlers last words to him were, “I think we’re in a lot of trouble. I will be back for you.” His handler locked him in his kennel before helping victims.

10 years ago my father in law decided to fill in his pool and put pavers over it stating he had no desire or need for a pool. He has now placed an above ground pool on top of the pool he filled in.

There were 137 million less people at the time. Of the 9 million on active duty 2.7 served in Vietnam which is roughly 10% of that generation. 1.3 million saw combat and of that 58,202 died. Comparing the two is absolutely insane
The number of Americans who have died from COVID-19 in about 7 weeks is almost equal to the number of Americans who died during the Vietnam War. Which lasted 12 years.

Whether it's a small gathering or a rowdy Zoom call, we hope you're planning to celebrate Thanksgiving safely and responsibly!
We know it can be awkward to talk to your family about gun reform, so we put together an all-new Zoom Edition of our Thanksgiving Survival Guide!

Just curious, as someone who trains SAR, Water Rescue, hunting, and etc. what service is your dog trained for? The ADA is who you should be mad at. They allowed the current situation to happen with the relaxed wording and the creation of “Emotional Support Animals”.
