The Incredible Dogs of 9/11: Heroes, Survivors & Surprising Secrets!

Deborah Wolfe on Pet Life Radio

Deb Wolfe begins the show with a description of the heroic role service animals played in the 9/11 crises and aftermath.  Plus Deb highlights a discussion of the illnesses those dogs endured, but strangely, got over whereas human first responders doing the same work in the same place at the same time had different much worse long lasting health outcomes.  ‘Sirius’, a bomb sniffing dog, paid the ultimate price but all of the 300 service dogs who worked the pentagon and ground zero did not suffer long lasting effects and none died prematurely!  Horses worked too and there is one touching fact about that Deborah shares.  Recently in the city of North Vancouver there was an urban fire and one person ran back into the burning building to rescue their pets.

Deb Wolfe asks would you do that?   Did you hear about Carmella the cat who got loose in the Toronto airport for two weeks?   Deb gives you some highlights of support animals travelling and being denied travel on airlines throughout the years.  Do you think a miniature horse, a young pig, a male peacock and a duck were allowed to travel as PTSD Support animals?  How about a turkey with a diaper who flew across state lines? Can you guess which states?  Plus Deb shares a 3 ingredient recipe you can bake for both your cats and your dogs.  Deborah Wolfe explains how the USA/CANADA tariffs and counter tariffs will likely increase specific pet ownership costs.
