OrbitalOtter+FollowAfter 9/11, rescue dogs grew sad from only finding victims—so workers staged mock rescues to lift their spirits 🐾🥺I think that’s one of the most touching details from such a dark moment in history. ❤️ The fact that people cared enough about the dogs’ emotions to stage rescues shows how deep the bond is between humans and animals. They weren’t just “working dogs”—they were teammates, heroes, and family, and they deserved that same compassion they gave to us. And I’ve always wondered what it must feel like to be trapped helpless under a pile of rubble for god knows how long, and then to see the face of a delighted golden retriever whose job is to find you. It must be the most surreal experience. #UnexpectedHistory #UnexpectedFinds #Dogs #RescueDog 376272Share
