Paul Mann Fetch! Pet Care

It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since the 9/11 tragedy occurred.   Having been in New York during the occurrence, I can remember all of the events of the day so vividly.  And yet, for the pets, ten years can be a lifetime for them.  Of the nearly 100 search and rescue dogs who braved their lives at Ground Zero to help others, only twelve remain today. Mail Online wrote a fantastic article that includes portraits and brief stories of those twelve. Click here to read the article. 

And while we celebrate these twelve 9/11 rescue dogs, and the remaining many who have since passed, it is a reminder of just how brief pets’ lives truly are.  Dogs, cats, birds, and all other types of pets…they are only in each of our lives for a short time, yet they all truly impact us in the most positive way.  They give of themselves, unconditionally, to brighten our days and spread love as only they know how.  And when they pass, it leaves a void in our lives.  They are all heroes in some way. 

On this historic day, my thoughts and thankfulness go out to the 9/11 rescue dogs, as well as all the animals of the world who, in some way, rescue us on a daily basis.

For the Pets,

Paul Mann, Founder & CEO
