The picture above quite honestly brings me to tears. It’s hard to explain. The men and women who were there on that terrible day and those that followed are true, incredible, selfless heroes. There is no other word for it and I don’t in any way intend to minimize that by saying that despite this, the dogs are what really knock the breath out of me. An excerpt from the book:
“I said to Piper, ‘Go find.’ He would paw or whine, and then he would look up at me. And as soon as he put his nose to the ground, the firefighters were all over him. They were so crazed to find one of their brothers buried where Piper had indicated. That’s when I started feeling the deep depression they were feeling. There were 10 or 12 dogs on our search team. In all, Piper and his buddies found about 15 bodies.
