Post about the 9-11 dogs featured below, from Sasha's mother~



Hi Susan.

Thank you for your kind wishes.

It is a privilege to be able to care for and prepare dear Sasha for her life as a "big girl". We are definitely blessed!
Every time there is a new litter of High Calling pups, I can't help but think of all the new love that has just been created!

I was very moved by the 9/11 photo tributes. I still get choked up when I think about it.

In Sept 2001 the daughter of a friend was very concerned about the paws of those courageous dogs as they searched through burning debris and ashes. Through her small company, Muttluks, she donated shoes to protect the dogs of 911.

Ground Zero - Muttluks Helps New York

Muttluks has long been known for its altruistic actions and integrity. In 2002, Marianne Bertrand, the founder of Muttluks, was awarded the “Be kind to Animals” Award by the Toronto Humane Society for Muttluks’ donation of over 850 sets of boots to the 300 Search and Rescue dogs at Ground Zero on 9/11. The Muttluks shipment to Ground Zero made history as it was the only item to cross the Canadian/US border on a day the border between the two countries was closed.
