A generation of search and rescue dogs, that is. This is the longest surviving search and rescue dog from Ground Zero, Bretagne, walking into the vet for the final time.

I love dogs, and have read how many of these dogs developed a form of PTSD after 9/11 from not being able to find anyone alive. Which to me means, if they're developing PTSD from it, they must have cared a great deal about trying to save as many lives as possible.
Just seems like, since they gave a crap, we should give a crap about them, you know?
Happy Tuesday everyone I had to take a walk along the beach this morning barefooted something I'm not supposed do (major ankle/foot surgery) but I just felt I had to be one with father earth. More later.

I agree with you.
we will find a way, we will find our place
I was working near the Pentagon that day and have very vivid memories of what happened.
Got to meet some of the rescue dogs and their handlers in the days afterward as they were being housed in one of the hotels near my office near the Pentagon. This also included some of the dogs that had heen at ground zero.
Made sure to give the dogs hugs and/or shakes and to thank the handlers for their efforts.
Bless those pooches, as well as the others who have suffered PTSD whether at the hands of man or of nature.
Thanks for posting this - and easy on the ankle!
Peace

it's so hard to believe it's been 15 years...
Teacher....
Such a thankless job.
I thank you for your hard work. It must be very frustrating to teach children not to forget what happened before they were born.
