In Loving Memory of
K-9 "SIRIUS"
Badge # 17 WTC - LODD
September 11, 2001
"I will always love my partner.
He helped me search trucks entering
the WTC for Explosives.
I left him in his kennel
to help rescue people in Tower #1.
He may be a dog to most,
but he was a 'friend' to me."
~David W. Lim

"Cowboy", a FEMA-certified Border Collie, is one of over 350 devoted dogs who lent their superhuman senses to the search and rescue operations. Although many dogs like Cowboy are not ready to call off the search, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and on-site veterinarians agree that SAR dogs are being exposed to hazards and respiratory conditions that are unwarranted, now that the "rescue" effort has been downgraded to "recovery".
