Episode 123 - Remembering The Hero Dogs Of 9/11

Author: All That's Interesting September 4, 2024 Duration: 29:37
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed and countless others injured in terror attacks targeting the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. The aftermath saw immense devastation, but also incredible heroism from rescue workers, including many dogs. The loyalty and dedication that these dogs showed serve as proof that anyone, when they answer the call of duty, has the right to be called a hero – even if they walk on four legs. https://allthatsinteresting.com/michael-hingson credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
