🕯️ Remembering 9/11 🕯️

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honour the incredible bravery shown on that day, not just by the men and women who risked everything, but also by the dogs who worked tirelessly in the aftermath.

Over 300 specially trained search and rescue dogs were deployed to Ground Zero. These incredible dogs, alongside their dedicated handlers, searched through rubble for survivors and helped locate those who never made it home. They brought comfort, hope, and closure to families during one of the darkest times in history. 🐾❤️

Let’s take a moment today to honour the courage, dedication, and sacrifice both human and canine, that defined the heroes of 9/11.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸✨

🐶 Some of the Outstanding Dogs of 9/11

Apollo – German Shepherd
One of the first search & rescue dogs on site at Ground Zero; worked tirelessly through the rubble looking for survivors.

Bretagne – Golden Retriever
Volunteer SAR dog with Texas Task Force 1; searched for survivors and remains for around 10 days.

Trakr – German Shepherd
Helped find the last surviving person at the World Trade Center after hours trapped under rubble.

Sirius – Labrador Retriever
An explosives detection dog; the only working dog to lose his life during the 9/11 attacks.

Nikie – Golden Retriever
Therapy and comfort dog; worked for months afterwards providing emotional support to rescue and recovery workers.

Salty – Labrador Retriever (Guide Dog)
One of two guide dogs who helped their blind owners safely escape from the World Trade Center.

Roselle – Labrador Retriever (Guide Dog)
Partner to Salty; calmly guided her owner out of Tower 1 during the chaos, saving his life.

How cute is Trent?! 🐾 He’s a 7-month-old Bavarian Mountain Hound who has recently started his scentwork journey, and he’s already smashing it! ✨

Bavarian Mountain Hounds were originally bred in Germany to track wounded game through rugged mountains and dense forests, making them absolute scentwork superstars. With a nose that could probably find your lost car keys from last week, they’re incredibly focused, determined, and natural trail-followers. But don’t be fooled by their working drive… when they’re off-duty, they’re usually plotting how to steal the best spot on the sofa! 🐶🛋️

🌿 Environmental Exposure Isn’t Just for Puppies! 🐾

Many people think socialisation and environmental exposure stop once your puppy hits 16 weeks, but that’s not the case!

The early months are a critical period for building positive associations, but exposure should continue throughout your dog’s life. From puppyhood to adolescence and well into adulthood, regularly introducing your dog to new sights, sounds, surfaces, and situations helps:
🐕 Build confidence
🧠 Prevent anxiety and reactivity
🤝 Maintain adaptability and appropriate social skills

Even well-adjusted dogs can lose confidence if they aren’t exposed to different environments over time.

And when environmental training can include going out for breakfast 👇 why wouldn't you want to do that
