A German Shepherd called Micah, relaxing after spending 20 hours searching for survivors among the wreckage of the World Trade Center.
I remember reading that so many of the search dogs (over 400 were brought in from around the country) were becoming stressed and then depressed because they were only finding bodies and not survivors. Vets and handlers asked that volunteers began hiding in the debris so that the dogs could find a live person and give them assurance they were doing a good job.
