| September 11, 2001 is a day
we will never forget. Our site is dedicated to those (both humans and
animals) who died at the World Trade Center and to those who helped save lives and find victims. |

Many dogs helped out at the World Trade Center disaster. Of the more than 250 dogs there, five dogs died. Two fell from the rubble and three died from heat stroke. The dogs at Ground Zero have been trained to detect the living as well as the dead from the rubble. They along with their human trainers suffer many injuries while searching through the rubble. The ASPCA along with other animal organizations set up triage units to care for the dogs. The triage unit cared for over 250 dogs during their time at the World Trade Center. The animals came from as far as Mississippi, Georgia and Canada. Veterinarians from all over the world called to say they would come if they were needed. Some were willing to drive 24 hours just to bring dog food and other supplies such as dog booties. There are so many stories about this tragic day in our nation's history. We have included just a few. Our hearts go out to all who suffered losses and who witnessed this terrible event. |
