This original colored pencil illustration is for the over 300 search and rescue dogs who searched for survivors at Ground Zero on 9/11. Many of the dogs became so discouraged, rescue teams had to start organizing fake rescues with living people so the dogs wouldn't lose hope. Here's to the many brave dogs and their handles. In a time of great loss and tragedy, these were some of the helpers.
