The dogs that found life among the rubble of the Twin Towers 25 years ago

Correio da Manhã11 September 2026 at 09:31

25 years ago, rescue dogs were mobilized for operations among the rubble of the Twin Towers in New York, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. These animals played a crucial role in the search for survivors among the wreckage of the collapsed buildings.

More than 300 four-legged dogs were involved in the rescue operations in New York City. These animals were considered true heroes, working tirelessly to find living people among the rubble.

The dogs managed to find life among the rubble, saving victims who were still trapped under the wreckage of the towers. Their extraordinary sense of smell allowed them to locate survivors in situations that would have been practically impossible for humans.

The article highlights the invaluable contribution of these animals during one of the greatest tragedies in recent United States history, noting that for 25 years these rescue operations have been remembered as a notable example of the relationship between humans and dogs in emergency situations.
