Public țintă
- Over 300 volunteers showed up with their dogs at the WTC to aid in the initial rescue and recovery; of these, only 40 were trained SAR dogs who could actually help out
- People and dogs that aren′t qualified to take part in search and rescue operations pose a threat to all involved
- With the outpouring of emotion towards SAR dogs at the WTC–thousands of protective paw "booties" and tons of treats were donated for the dogs–now is clearly the time to get people′s attention as to the need of properly training their dogs for search and rescue operations
