Dogs express bravery and courage in so many ways – whether out of loyalty for their owners or just intuitively. The bravery exhibited by the search and rescue dogs of 9/11 has brought moist eyes to millions of people around the world. The rescue survivors can be seen in this slide show from the NY Times. We’ve all noticed the occasional story on the national or local news of some heroic deed performed by man’s best friend. Write a few words about a brave dog you’ve known or owned. It needn’t be something dramatic or heroic but just some unselfish act of canine courage that made a difference. All those who share their story under “Search-and-Rescue Dogs of 9/11” and http://www.facebook.com/gerryrenert.author will be entered to win a free BRAVE ROONEY children’s book/app for the iPad and iPhone and a signed book cover from the author. You’ll also be adding to the legacy of why dogs will always be “man’s best friend.”

  1. Thanks for the info about the contest – tweeting it out now!

  2. I love reading stories about animals like these! I only have two kitties that are loyal but other than catching mice in the old apartment they aren’t that heroic hahah

  3. What a great contest. I love reading stories like that. My dogs all though I love them, are not really loyal or heroic lol It’s Ok because they still make me smile.

  4. We lost our German Shepherd to old age a couple of years ago. Her sire was a search and rescue dog up in NY. Shepherds are such amazing animals…of course they shed like crazy and think they are lap dogs at 80+ pounds but you just have to love them!

  5. What a great share! Heading to the FB page now, not to enter but cause I’m nosey and want to see what everyone else is doing 🙂

  6. Everyone needs a canine companion. Our new dog seems to be loyal and brave. I’ll have to check out this contest.
