“Be warned...this book is guaranteed to choke you up.”
“Recently on a flight back to New York I was waiting at the airport when a dog-handler from FEMA came over to the gate with her beautiful black Labrador search dog. It was an amazing sight watching this graceful animal stretching out in the late afternoon sun, knowing that this dog had been part of the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. When I looked into the dog’s huge black eyes all I could see was peace. I wish I’d gotten that dog’s name so I could find him in ths gorgeously illustrated book that documents the noble efforts of the heroic dogs and their handlers who helped search for survivors and victims after the worst terrorist attack in history.
These are the dogs that scaled mounds of broken concrete at the World Trade Center and the mountains of burning debris at the Pentagon searching for bodies so that family members would have something to bury and mourn. In this gorgeously illustrated book author Nona Kilgore Bauer recounts the personal experiences of 78 search-dog handlers and their dogs with stirring stories and beautiful photographs of canine heroes sure to move anyone’s heart.”

“Man and best friend have stories to share”
“Dog Heroes of September 11th by Nona Kilgore Bauer (Bowtie Press). No one would guess that Ego Alley and Red, two black Labradors rolling around on the floor of the Washington Convention Center at last month's BookExpo America, played a critical role in recovery after a plane crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. More than 70 search and recovery dogs are featured in this tribute to canine heroes. August.”

"Dog Heroes of September 11th: A Tribute to America’s Search and Rescue Dogs by Nona Kilgore Bauer"
“‘The dogs
gave them a sense of home,’” Bauer quotes Jeanie Marshall,
who handled search dog ‘Pacy,’ a Golden Retriever. “‘They
identified our dogs with their own pets and that gave them
some much-needed comfort
during such a difficult time.’”
“Stories of dogs’ devotion have been recounted for centuries
in literature and artwork, but never was it more necessary or
apparent than after 9/11.”
