Dog Heroes of Sept 11th, Nona Kilgore Bauer, 2006
This book is sub-titled "A Tribute to America's Search and Rescue Dogs". It is the first major publication to salute the canines that served the nation in the recovery missions following the terrorists' attacks on America.
Beautifully written and elegantly designed, the book provides an excellent overview of the mission and requirements of these search and rescue dogs and serves as a lasting tribute to these noble American heroes.
Author Nona Kilgore Bauer, an award-winning canine journalist and author, interviewed each of the dog handlers involved in the recovery efforts at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the Fresh Kills Landfill.
The book profiles of each canine hero and his/her handler and shows the dogs working, providing comfort to their fellow brave rescue workers, and sharing time with their handlers.
A portion of the proceeds of Dog Heroes of September 11th will benefit the National Search Dog Foundation.
