Last year this time, I was in a wheelchair- unable to walk, move my fingers or my face. Thru the amazing care of my medical team, I’ve achieved a few victories. Pls help me find a cure for this devastating disease w/a gift to my GBS Research Fund: https://t.co/8ISJ5n8xps

Beautiful story. Mike McDonald is my longtime friend and wonderful guy. I met Michael Goessling last year and thought he was great. So happy for this reunion of father & son. Wishing both families many blessings. 💜

The Dog Who Wouldn't Stop Searching

On September 11, 2001, Apollo disappeared into a hole in the rubble at Ground Zero.

Then a fireball erupted.

Seconds later, the German Shepherd came running back toward his handler, NYPD Officer Peter Davis.

Apollo was on fire.

Davis brushed the burning embers from his thick coat.

And Apollo went right back to searching.

Apollo was nine years old—an age when many police dogs had already retired. But that morning, he and Davis became the first canine search-and-rescue team to arrive at Ground Zero.

The conditions were brutal.

To reach the rubble, Davis later recalled wading through water that came nearly to his waist. Apollo searched across jagged concrete and dangerously hot debris. His coat was singed. His paws became cracked and bruised.

Still, he searched.

Apollo had been trained to find the living. But as the hours passed, the terrible reality of the site became clearer. Eventually, Davis had to physically pull Apollo away from the debris when the dog refused to stop looking.

And Apollo wasn't alone.

Search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers worked through wreckage, dust and toxic fumes in the aftermath of the attacks. Apollo became a symbol of all of them.

On March 5, 2002, he was awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal for courage and devotion to duty. Apollo had been selected by ballot to receive the honor on behalf of every search-and-rescue dog that had worked at the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Apollo lived to be 14.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the people who ran toward danger that morning.

Apollo reminds us that not all of them ran on two legs.

It was a pleasure doing this tour with my old friends in Toto, and my new friends in The Romantics.

Thanks to Luke and Joe for inviting me on this fantastic tour. I hope we can all do it again.

Thanks, especially, to all of you who came out and supported the shows. xCC

@rocky524 Thanks! We did a gig there some years ago and the album recorded at the Carlyle is one of my most requested.

The last couple nights in the Pacific NW were off the hook! Thank y’all for bringing the vibes. 🤩

[Christopher Cross @itsMrCross]

I am so sorry for the loss of Frank Beard of @ZZTop. My heartfelt condolences to the Beard family, @BillyGibbons , and the entire ZZ family.

Frank, a fellow Texan, was an iconic player whose style fit the band's music like a rhinestone glove.

You will be missed my friend.

@Left_Hand_Path They’re all good!
