The federal government sent the Veterinary Medical Assistance Team (VMAT). They were responsible for maintaining the medical care for the service dogs and searching for the missing.

The search dogs and handlers were there from different parts of the country. Men and women, along with their dogs, were absolutely sober. People were saying that the dogs became anxious as they had trouble locating survivors.

Erick Robertson, a handler with his dog Pork-chop, started his way to the Californi to support the rescue. The handler reported the death of dogs from 9/11. Pork-chop was no longer alive, while Erick overcame cancer. Erick is currently cooperating with an organization in honor of the rescue dogs.

It is important to recall the harmony in those days and months, especially in New York City, given the current state of the intense divide in the nation.

Brei Noelle Olivier mentioned that the rescue dogs have to put on powerful rescues to keep their spirits high.
