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.

My homegirl who is 21 has been dating this older married man. Its not like she can't pull boys her age so I asked her why she keeps doing that. Turns out the wife of that man had affair with her dad when she was 12 which led to her parent's divorce and so she decided to give her a similar experience. “I have decided to be the Karma!!” She said laughing
My boy passed away a few weeks ago. Yesterday I dropped a piece of bacon on the floor and for the first time in 14 years no one ran over to get it. I picked it up. Reluctantly. A small piece of bacon, such a huge loss. You would have loved it, Lyle.
🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD
DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥
The reason I don’t like Donald Trump is not because he’s a republican or conservative but because he’s a rapist pedophile piece of shit. Hope that helps.
The worst Epstein document I’ve seen.
A little girl said Jesus makes her feel safe so they dressed up as Jesus as they raped & murdered her.
The level of evil we’re dealing with here is incomprehensible. Every single name must be revealed and justice must be served.
please, please share this video. please support and rally behind the victims in any way possible, uplift their voices. please don't let them be silenced.
If you support ICE you support child killers. The amount of pain and trauma these people have had to endure is heartbreaking. I do not understand how anyone could support this.
More than three million pages from the Epstein files are now public.
Cannibalism. Rape. Murder. Pedophilia.
Not a single arrest. Not a single investigation.
Z.E.R.O
everyone is becoming desensitized to the fact this man is a pedophile. he’s a pedophile, a human trafficker, a rapist. i know you’re tired but don’t stop being angry. heads need to roll for this.
Impeach him Monday. Amend the constitution and call for a snap presidential election in November. No one involved in this cover up should touch public office again and many many should be sent to prison. The moral fabric of our nation is at stake.
