The statue honors the heroic service dogs that worked to locate victims trapped in the buildings destroyed by the attacks on America on

September 11, 2001.  

 

More than 350 dogs lent therapy and search-and-rescue efforts at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  It was the largest deployment of search dogs in U.S. history and possibly the single greatest example of inter-species cooperation in the history of human disasters.

 

Many dedicated dogs lost their lives as a result of their valiant work after the attacks.  We commemorate them today.
