Today we solemnly mark 24 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001. We remember the 2,977 lives lost, including 343 firefighters who gave their lives in the line of duty and the brave work of search and rescue dogs. Their sacrifice, and the loss endured by so many families, will never be forgotten.

The following photos some of the many search and rescue dogs who worked tirelessly looking for victims of 9/11. *names in order of images*

Moxie, from Winthrop, Massachusetts, arrived with her handler, Mark Aliberti, at the World Trade Center on the evening of September 11 and searched the site for eight days

Tara, from Ipswich, Massachusetts, arrived at the World Trade Center on the night of the 11th. The dog and her handler, Lee Prentiss, were there for eight days.

Kaiser, pictured at home in Indianapolis, Indiana, was deployed to the World Trade Center on September 11 and searched tirelessly for people in the rubbl.e

Bretagne and his owner, Denise Corliss from Cypress, Texas, arrived at the site in New York on September 17, remaining there for ten days.

K-9 Jake

Breed: Black Labrador

In 1995, Jake was abandoned by his owner in Utah. At the age of 10 months, he was discovered on the street with several injuries, including a dislocated hip and broken leg. Jake was adopted by Mary Flood, who worked for a federal search and rescue team in Salt Lake City. After he was saved, Jake became a U.S. government-certified rescue dog. At the time, he was one of only 200 dogs in the United States that were trained to respond within 24 hours to disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, water rescue, terrorist attacks, or avalanches.

Jake excelled at tracking scents in difficult places, including under the snow and up trees. On September 11, 2001, Jake and Mary Flood were called to New York to help in the search effort. After the pair arrived, Jake was equipped with a safety vest and immediately went to work. On the night of September 11, he was given a free steak dinner by an upscale Manhattan restaurant, in preparation for the grueling search effort. Jake worked at the World Trade Center site for 17 days, and was exposed to multiple physical hazards, including sharp debris and unhealthy air. He stayed at Ground Zero until it was certain that no survivors remained.

After 9/11, Jake helped search for victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. In his later career, he was used to train younger rescue dogs and to help people in therapy. Sadly, Jake was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, a blood borne cancer in the 2000s, and was euthanized on July 25, 2007. He was 12-years-old. It is unknown whether Jake’s cancer can be linked to his work at Ground Zero, but it should be noted that many black Labradors die from cancer at the age of 12 every year.

Handler Quote

Mary Flood spoke of her dog: “He was a great morale booster wherever he went. He was always ready to work, eager to play, and a master at helping himself to any unattended food items.”
