Last Rescue Dog From Ground Zero Gets A Day To Remember In NYC

[EV_Ares]

Every year, when the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I like to take a quiet moment to reflect on the many heroes who saved so many lives on that dark day. Like just about everyone, I remember the firefighters, police officers, National Guardsmen, and ordinary citizens who kept fighting, even when it seemed like all hope was lost.

Turns out that someone else had exactly the same idea. BarkPost, the blog associated with pet food company BarkBox, decided to honor the last living 9/11 search-and-rescue dog in the best way imaginable!

3. How very cool.

Tears in my eyes.

At 16, she obviously doesn't have much longer, but I am gratified to see that she's had as many years as she has with love and devotion. May she be painfree and content for WHATEVER time she has left, and she has my thanks and admiration.
