25 years ago, they woke up to what they thought would be an ordinary day. Within hours, everything changed. And without hesitation, they went into the rubble. Alongside their handlers, these extraordinary dogs searched through the devastation of 9/11 - hour after hour, day after day, they worked tirelessly to find any survivors of the Twin Towers. Any… Their determination, their loyalty, their diligence and their love - even now, it is incredibly moving. Some would carry the effects of that work for the rest of their lives. Today, every one of those dogs has gone. But what they did must never be forgotten. To the dogs of 9/11, and to the remarkable men and women who worked beside them - we thank you for your service, your courage and your sacrifice. 25 years on - we remember you. We always will. 🇺🇸🐾

It’s time for the @Crufts Hero Dog Award. Please drop some votes for PD Tweed and handler Martin, both of whom have been heroes. Tweed was the first Digital Detection Dog in the country and for years has protected the communities of Devon and Cornwall with her amazing nose. Let’s get her the recognition she deserves. You can vote as many times as you like - just refresh the page and re-vote! So while you’re watching the rugby… 😁 @DC_Police @DevonPoliceDogs @CornwallDogs crufts.org.uk/crufts-the-sho…
