I was a Maryland State Police K-9 Bomb Dog handler in 2001 this day as many you never forget what you were doing. Earlier in the year we had just received The United States Police Canine Association's Natioanal Detector Dog award for an explosives find in August of 2000. We were members of the Association and we heard about K-9 Sirius through our members and to know the loss of K-9 partner is like losing a family member. I still wear the braclet to honor Sirius and always tell his story.... also the book carries on page 13 his memorial service with a photograph and a caption. I wanted this book for various reasons but after reading it as a dog handler I knew I wanted to do more. Iam currently training a yellow lab for search and rescue. Finally my K-9 partner BRANDY a female German Shepherd was one of those dogs that never went to New York but worked the Baltimore/D.C. area for the days and weeks that followed. I will always be grateful to her and all those dogs that gave all to keep us safe and give us hope in the future.Read full review
This is an excellent book because in reading it people will truly see the courage, bravery and dedication of the Americans and American service dogs that responded to the Sept. 11th attacks. The people who did this to America are not our friends and we should be doing everything to protect ourselves, not coddling what they did or who they really are. This book reveals more about the horror of what happened on Sept. 11th which all too soon people forget. Keep in mind and heart always that all the people and dogs exposed to the airborne debris while serving to rescue the victims more often and likely than not suffered untreatable cancer caused by the airborne debris of the Sept. 11th attacks. Yes people, we America were attacked. This is the sacrifice people and their service dogs made every day to try and rescue the victims of the Sept. 11th attacks. I keep this book out on my coffee table for all to SEE! God bless America and our service dogs always and keep us in God's safety.Read full review

This is a very well written book! It has tons of quality pictures and information about each and every dog that participated during 9/11. There is a lot of information and details. Each dog handler had a chance to write a page about their work with their dog. Includes sections about Ground Zero, the Pentagone, and the Fresh Kill Landfill. Highly recommended!
Anyone dedicated to 9|11, emergency services, or K9 needs to add this book to their library. It's hard to hold the tears as we remember and as we honor. I am dissappointed that June in Shanksville did not get her proper dues. She arrived and ready for work. Irrespective of how the investigation progressed, she deserved to have her breed, training, and agency recognized. But aside from my one regret, this is top of the line. This book shall forever be a prized possession for me.
A beautiful tribute to our furry hero's
