911 rescue dogs

[Randypiper]

In the days following the attacks on 9/11 nearly 100 search and rescue dogs were deployed by FEMA to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Ten years later, Dutch photographer Charlotte Dumas tracked down the surviving fifteen, who who now live in retirement with their original handlers througout the country. She captured these exquisite photographs.

13. When I look at their photos, I wonder what is going thru their minds.

They do an amazing job, but I wonder how much damage was done to them in the process.

Thanks for the photos.
