- After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, dogs and their handlers served at the Pentagon and World Trade Center sites, family assistance centers, and the forensic recovery operation at Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. Hundreds of these K-9 teams searched the wreckage for survivors and victims or comforted responders and families of the 9/11 victims.
