🇺🇸Never Forget 9/11🇺🇸
In the aftermath of September 11, 2001… heroes emerged.And not all of them walked on two legs.
Over 300 dogs stood beside nearly 10,000 rescue workers at Ground Zero.
They climbed mountains of smoldering debris.
They burned their paws.
They cut their skin.
Still…they pressed forward. Tirelessly searching for life.
As the days passed and survivors became fewer, the dogs began to lose hope. Some showed signs of depression, believing they had failed. So their handlers did something extraordinary. They hid among the rubble, allowing the dogs to “find” them….restoring their purpose, and bringing back the wag of their tails, and it worked.
Through exhaustion, heartbreak, and danger, these four legged heroes carried light into the darkest days. They comforted the grieving. They gave hope to the hopeless. They gave love when the world was broken. Today, we honor the service dogs and humans of 9/11…forever heroes, forever remembered.
In our darkest moments may we look to the dogs of 9/11 as a reminder to meet despair with courage, to answer heartbreak with love, and to carry light even when the world feels heavy.
