9/11 Animal Heroes

1,264 words (approx. 5.1 pages) | 5 sources | MLA | 2008 United States


Paper Summary:

The paper describes how many search and rescue dogs with their handlers selflessly tried to save the many humans trapped in the debris and rubble of the September 11th terrorist attack on New York. The paper paints a picture of how these dogs climbed, crawled, jumped and sniffed for a full month, without a thought for their own safety. The paper relates several stories of these canines' heroism.

From the Paper:

"September 11th, 2001 will go down in history as one of America's greatest tragedies. Yet, from the death and destruction, out of the rubble and debris, came the true spirit of humankind, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. There are so many stories of heroism on that fateful day that it fills the heart with hope. Those trained to respond, those found thrust into the situation with no preparation, and all of the support from millions of people around the globe showed that tragedy could bring out the hero in everyone. And this was not limited to just those of the human persuasion, but canines as well."
