A ceremony at this weekend's pet fair in San Rafael will honor search dogs who responded to the scene at the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, fair organizers said.
The Bay Area Pet Fair and "Adapotathon" is ready for pets and their owners to attend starting at 11 a.m. Saturday, the day before the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
At 11:30 a.m., six members of the California Rescue Task Force 3 and their K-9 units will be honored at the fair. Organizers say 9/11 was the
largest deployment of search dogs in United States history.
