These are the dogs that worked the Trade Center that are still alive but retired, theyare heroes too!!! Their eyes say everything you need to know about them. Justamazing creatures!

True heroes of 9/11 still with us today...

Moxie, 13, from Winthrop, Massachusetts, arrived with her handler, Mark Aliberti, at theWorld Trade Center on the evening of September 11 and searched the site for eightdays.



Tara, 16, from Ipswich, Massachusetts, arrived at the World Trade Center on the nightof the 11th. The dog and her handler Lee Prentiss were there for eight days.

Kaiser, 12, pictured at home in Indianapolis, Indiana, was deployed to the World TradeCenter on September 11 and searched tirelessly for people in the rubble.



Bretagne and his owner Denise Corliss from Cypress, Texas, arrived at the site in New York on September 17, remaining there for ten days!

Abigail, above, was deployed on the evening of September 17, searching for 10 dayswhile Tuff arrived in New York at 11:00 pm on the day of attack to start working earlythe next day.



Handler Julie Noyes and Hoke were deployed to the World Trade Center from theirhome in Denver on September 24 and searched for five days.

Scout and another unknown dog lie among the rubble at Ground Zero, just two of nearly 100 search and rescue animals who helped to search for survivors. During thechaos of the 9/11 attacks, where almost 3,000 people died, nearly 100 loyal search andrescue dogs and their brave owners scoured Ground Zero for survivors. Now, ten yearson, just 12 of these heroic canines survive, and they have been commemorated in atouching series of portraits entitled 'Retrieved'. The dogs worked tirelessly to search foranyone trapped alive in the rubble, along with countless emergency service workersand members of the public.



Traveling across nine states in the U.S. from Texas to Maryland, Dutch photographerCharlotte Dumas, 34, captured the remaining dogs in their twilight years in their homeswhere they still live with their handlers, a full decade on from 9/11. Their stories havenow been compiled in a book, called Retrieved, which is published on Friday, the tenthanniversary of the attacks.

Noted for her touching portraits of animals, especially dogs, Charlotte wanted

'Retrieved' to mark not only the anniversary of the September 2001 attacks, but also asrecognition for some of the first responders and their dogs.

'I felt this was a turning point, especially for the dogs, who although are not forgotten,are not as prominent as the human stories involved,' explained Charlotte, who splits hertime between New York and Amsterdam. 'They speak to us as a different species andanimals are greatly important for our sense of empathy and to put things intoperspective.'
