Bretagne by Charlotte Dumas
To mark the Tenth Anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center I want to share a few articles that honor the loyal spirits of wet noses and furry coats in a very bleak time in our country's history.
Over at Dog Art Today there's an inspiring article about photographer Charlotte Dumas .
In the aftermath of the attacks nearly 100 dogs and their handlers from 18 states were deployed by FEMA to join the rescue efforts at Ground Zero and the Pentagon. They worked tirelessly alongside firemen and others around the clock to find survivors. Now, ten years later Dutch photographer, Charlotte Dumas managed to locate 15 surviving dogs, now retired and living with their original handlers.
You can see Charlotte's exquisite photographs of these courageous dogs in her newly published book Retrieved available through The Ice Plant. Her photos will be on display at Julie Saul Gallery in Chelsea, NY through October 15th. And on September 29th a special sale benefiting First Responders Alliance will be held at Clic Bookstore and Gallery.
Dog Therapy at Ground Zero written by Frank Shane, CEO of K-9 Disaster Relief Foundation is about Nikie, a golden retriever who brought comfort to many workers in the ruins of Ground Zero. It's from The Wall Street Journal's Saturday, September 10th online edition.
