this is very special and moving story. Thank to my daughter for posting this story on FB. don't know why, but never gave it a thought bout the toxic air they were taking in. Rescue animals are a very special breed and are to be commended and remembered as well.
There is always something each of us
can contribute when there is a need.
I worked at a bar when 911 took place.
We wore buttons in honor of the fire-
fighers and police and put coffee cans
out for donations. The money was sent
to a firehouse in New York.
A portrait of Sirius, the search dog killed in the
WTC on 911, will always be displayed on my wall in
honor of a beautiful life cut short by violence.
