This makes me cry again. I wonder how these pooches are doing. I hear rescue dogs at a site like the WTC die quickly from respiratory problems. Does anyone know?

I hear rescue dogs at a site like the WTC die quickly from respiratory problems. Does anyone know?

Quite a few SAR dogs developed respiratory problems. Those animals were treated and retired from active service. I did not find any stories about any dogs that had to be put down.

Lots of wonderful stories at this site:
