9/11 Search and Rescue Dogs

“Dogs of 9/11” Exhibit at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum

There’s a temporary exhibit at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum honoring the hundreds of search and rescue dogs that came from all over the country to aid in the emergency operations at Ground Zero following the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

The exhibit includes one of the statues from the American Kennel Club’s DOGNY initiative. The DOGNY project featured artists creating unique designs for 100 statues of German Shepherd Dogs that were displayed throughout New York City. The statues of these search and rescue dogs were then auctioned off, raising more than three-million dollars for search and rescue organizations.

Also on display is a portrait of Sirius. This Golden Retriever was a bomb-sniffing dog for the Port Authority Police Department. His job was to search vehicles and package entering the World Trade Center. He had been working for a little more than a year with his partner Lieutenant David Lim when the planes crashed into the Towers. He is the only police dog killed in the attacks.

His family has always owned dogs, but Bodhi is the first he's been fully responsible for since puppyhood… and he couldn't be more doting. As a longtime New Yorker of more than 20 years, Sean knows what a dog's and dog owner's lifestyle is like in NYC. Besides being a doggy dad and top dog at Urban Dog, Sean also has a "real job" experience as co-owner of a Palm Beach, Florida-based private investigative firm, and as a licensed (pet friendly) Real Estate Salesperson with Douglas Elliman in NYC. Sean also exercised his creativity and business sense as an award-winning journalist, producer, TV marketing exec, and private investigator. When not blogging, working, or playing with Bodhi, he is an avid adventure traveler who has circumnavigated the world, bird-watched on all seven continents, safari-ed in Africa, and SCUBA-dived in exotic waters.
