NEW YORK CITY — Not

who lend their abilities to the security and rescue efforts underway in the
wake of last Tuesday's terrorist attack on America. With that said,

Where to begin.

Rottweilers and scores of mutts provide the backbone of the search-and-rescue
(SAR) operations at the World Trade Center wreckage. (Photo: Sep 15, 2001, Andrea Booher / FEMA)

"If
these dogs only knew what a difference they make.
Certainly, there's nothing that can replace the precision of a dog's
nose—and absolutely nothing that can replace a dog's
heart."

Emergency Management Agency |

dogs like this one are trained to detect traces of sweat and other musky
odors exuded by the body during stress. They are also able to
distinguish between the living and the dead.

"Bear", was one of the first dogs to arrive on the
scene and get right to work. A dedicated canine medical camp
stands ready to treat for injuries and exhaustion.
Canine ambulances are also on hand.
