As you can only imagine, working through the ruble to retrieve someone’s loved one is taking way more than just a physical toll, of course it's mentally and emotionally depleting. That’s where these emotional support dogs come in.
Three dogs from New Jersey have been deployed with three more on the way.
There are families still waiting for answers and as they do, they will have some compassionate support from this New Jersey emotional support animal group.
The group is currently stationed at the reunification site, interacting with families.
