Over 300 dogs helped out following the attacks on 9/11. SAR dogs, therapy dogs, working dogs. Every story was an inspiration. I wish I could list highlight every dog that helped that day, but there are so many stories! But today we remember, and we honor them.

1/3 Ricky the rat terrier was the smallest dog to deploy to Ground Zero. He was 17” tall and weighed just 18 pounds but he was fearless! And his small size was a huge asset. Ricky was able to travel through small areas where other dogs or people couldn’t fit.

I want to thank Dolly Parton for showing the world that it is ok to be from the Appalachian region and that we have a lot to offer. She was an inspiration and a great ambassador. She did so much for so many and didn’t really ask a lot. She brought happiness to so many, we should all be so lucky.
