πΊπΈβ€οΈπΎ More than 300 dogs took part in search, rescue & recovery
@ the WTC in the hours & months afterwards.
Working alongside their handlers, the pups climbed
huge piles of debris while fires still smoldered.
The search for signs of life or human remains
was mentally & physically taxing on the dogs
& theyβd get discouraged.
Vets were on site to care for them.
Working 12-hour shifts on the pile, the dogs needed
their paws, eyes & noses cleaned often.
Riley worked hard to find living people
but he also found bodies of Firefighters.
Police Officers & Firefighters would give Riley hugs
& that helped them carry on.
Another therapy dog, Nikie, provided comfort.
Bretagne, the last known 9-11 dog, passed in June 2016.
She was a 2-year-old @ the WTC.
Rescuers sat with her & her handler Denise,
& told their stories & shed their tears.
Trakr found the last survivor among the rubble
on the morning of Sept. 12, 2001 ποΈ

Sadly, Memaw passed away on August 28th She was 100 years and 17 days old when she passed peacefully in her sleep. For the past 30 years, I have lived with her - been her daughter - her friend and caregiver. Thank you God for allowing me to do that. My daughter and her family gifted me a German Shepherd puppy and I named her Maggie Mae (my Mother's nickname). I am training her to be a Therapy Dog. We will go into childrens' hospitals and nursing homes to bring a smile on someone's face. This sweet puppy is a daily inspiration to me. Maggie Mae's devotion and love are the best gifts I could hope for. My life is moving into a whole new space - without the Mother I love so dearly. But God never traps me behind a closed door - He always opens a new door that brings happiness and peace. I pray that all the working dogs in the world will be known for their devotion and great courage.
πΊπΈ I cannot imagine a prouder mother than Memaw, Brandy.
I cannot imagine a finer life than the one
you gave her in the last decades.
π₯³ I cannot imagine a more wondrous, celebration birthday
than the one you gave her for her 100th.
She stayed for it so all her family & friends
could show her how much they loved her.
I'm so proud of you, Brandy
& your Memaw ππΈ
You have inspired us all for years
with your Service to our country,
your searching, digging,
& willingness to look at the TRUTH.
πΉ Memaw was AMAZING.
She could have covered her ears & eyes
but she went boldly forward.
π She is watching over you now
& encouraging you to carry on
to the Cosmic CELEBRATION
when the devil is finally DEFEATED πͺ
πβ€οΈ God bless you my friend,
& your gorgeous new Angel Pup
so perfectly names, Maggie Mae πΎπ
π» Deepest condolences for Memaw
but now she is SHINING in HEAVEN πποΈπ

Oh Kat - such a beautiful comment and heartfelt. My journey with my beautiful Mama will never really end. It just took a turn. Her living legacy is that all those who knew her loved her and respected her. I am a part of that legacy. My sweet Maggie Mae is already in training and both the trainer and I are amazed at her intelligence and her dedication. She is going to make an amazing Therapy Dog. Kat - we stayed with Memaw throughout her last night on earth and we could all feel angels lifting her up. I still feel her spirit here with me. For her graveside service we played the song below. She paved the path before me with everything she had to give. She was one of your greatest admirers. Right through to the end of her time on earth, she knew that a great victory awaits us all.

So sorry for the loss of your mother Brandy. I lost mine in June and I really miss her. What a sweet gift from your daughter. Maggie Mae is adorable and her days of service will bring joy to many who have none. I ask that God comfort you in your days of sorrow and bring a lasting peace in your heart. I ask that Jesus walk beside you on this new journey and all of these requests I lay at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

German shepherds are smart and they learn words. They try to understand what you say.
I have one and she is afraid of lightning asnd thunder, but she is so good with my family. Not agressive.

Maggie Mae is already in training at 10 weeks old. The trainer and I are amazed at her work ethic. She is already an inspiration to me and those who meet her. I couldn't be more delighted by her behavior.
