(9/11 HEROES/PHOTOS) Nearly 100 search and rescue dogs were deployed to help find survivors at the World Trade Center and Pentagon sites after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Photographer Charlotte Dumas located 15 of these now senior-aged heroes and has commemorated them in a touching series of portraits entitled “Retrieved.” Traveling to 12 different states in the U.S., Charlotte photographed the surviving rescue dogs, now all well into their golden years, at their homes where they still live with their caretakers a full decade after serving their country during its desperate time of need. Their stories are now compiled in the book “Retrieved,” published September of this year for the tenth anniversary of the attacks. — Global Animal
