TRAKR

Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd
Type: Police/rescue dog
From: U.S.A.

 

 

Trakr was named as one of history's most heroic animals by Time magazine because he discovered the last survivor of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001. During such a heroic rescue, Trakr inhaled toxic smoke and as a result contracted a degenerative neurological disorder on his rear legs, which he was not able to use until his death in 2009. Sooam was able to deliver five clones of Trakr: Trustt, Solace, Valor, Prodigy, and Dejavu. They are collectively called "Team Trakr" in Trakr's honor. Team Trakr is currently carrying on Trakr's extraordinary search and rescue legacy.
