Dogs of 9/11: Search and rescue canines worked tirelessly in days following terror attacks

🌲🐾 Search & Rescue Training in Action 🐾🌲 When someone goes missing in the woods, trained search & rescue canines become real-life heroes. These amazing dogs learn to track human scent, navigate tough terrain, and—most importantly—alert their handlers by barking when they locate a missing person. During nighttime searches, our SAR dogs are equipped with lights to stay visible and safe, and many also wear bells so rescuers and lost individuals can hear them approaching through the darkness. 🔔
