Foregoing my usual Shelter Sunday feature to focus today on the heroes from September 11, 2001: Search & rescue dogs.
May God Bless America
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Shin-Soo (the dog, not the baseball player) is a resident of Wisconsin, currently living in a foster home affiliated with Shar Pei Savers rescue in Beloit.
