R.I.P Furry friend.

[lifeschild1]

9/11?? WE DON'T NEED TO REMEMBER ANY OF THE PAST! WE NEED TO STAND UP GO FORWARD AND FIGHT FOR AMERICA! FORGET ABOUT TOLERATION, THE CUSTOMARY RIGHTS AND THE FEELINGS OF THOSE ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS FOOLS INHABITING OUR COUNTRY! DEPORT THOSE WHO ARE ANTI-AMERICAN AND THE PLAGUE WITHIN OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR INACTION AND COMPLACENCY! THE NEXT TIME THESE FOOLS ACT IT WILL BE MORE HORRIFIC THAN BEFORE! MOST ASSUREDLY IT WILL BE A PLANNED NUCLEAR ATTACK ON AMERICA! TOO LATE! WHAT THEN!

[Shadowraider121]

@lifeschild1 Me thinks that you have some anger issues you need to talk about.

[ThePastelSra]

The last few seconds of this video speak a mountian of words. I live in Colorado, and was nowhere near ground zero during this, but I am so thankful for everyone that risked their lives to help with the search and rescue efforts.

[ThePage244]

seeing that dog being pulled out gives me the chilles and makes me wanna cry

[alliecatgirrl]

omg thats my dogs grandpa riley saucerman

[ikledarling]

God bless you Riley, and your very proud owner x

[zz878]

The hug at the end gets me in tears everytime.

[PlanetShepherd]

I bought the book, Dog Heroes on 11th November and Riley was on the front cover. It is very sad that he has been passed away. RIP

[filmfelineadmin]

RIP Riley. Good dog.

[utahgirl2]

RIP, brave boy. You've earned your rest. Thank you for your service.

[MargaretBerardinelli]

Thank you for your humble service, Riley. RIP Sweet Boy... See You in Heaven One Day.

[nutier]

interesting video ! the dog can be a hero among human . Thank you for sharing .

[chancealett]

so sad but he was ok

[smazstudios01]

@chancealett i wish he was fine but he died

[dominaters999getsome]

can someone explain to me what he did because i dont get it, just saw him get carried from one side to the other

[FilmLou]

@BornBlizzard66 Thanks -- It's OK to hit LIKE on Riley's video. It's your acknowledgement of the fine work he did as a Search and Rescue dog.

[FilmLou]

I would suggest that you read the caption.

[doydarknessmort]

It is sad he's gone now. I had seen pictures of him, thanks a lot.

[DontStessOnlyRelax]

Great video,my Friend!! Thumbs up!!

[celt1956]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. Riley was a beautiful and brave dog. I always say most dogs love to have a job to do, and SAR dogs love their work, just as K-9 cop dogs do, herding dogs, and my dogs who simply guard the house and bark a lot! Riley's life had great meaning.

[pantera203]

Kind of strange that all the K9 dogs have passed away. Did it have something to do with the crap they were breathing?

[lindaleigh69]

I remember Riley and Chris coming down to Johnstown Archery to shoot with us. My brother Mike told me that Riley passed away and I was so sad. My blessings to Chris and his family for sharing Riley with the world, Riley will always be my Hero...

[timberland1108]

he died a week after 9/11??

[FilmLou]

@timberland1108 No Riley passed this past Spring. He was in retirement living the good life with his firefighter family. I know that they miss him a great deal.

[19Irina]

Thank you very much for this great video.

[ZotMalakhov]

Thanks, my friend! Excellent video and very good performance!

[jessicakobe]

You have to be a real lover of animals to really understand the pain of

when they are no longer with us. Just put my horse down..he was old and

it was time. This video is sooooo touching....

Thanks for the great upload!

<3 Jessica

[Maskedman46]

This dog is not only a Hero but an Angel sent from Heaven...

~MM~

[blackiesmommy]

Im so very sorry for your loss of Riley, he was a beautiful dog and i can tell you Loved Him very much. I have lossed several dogs in my life and every time i loss one i felt like i just wanted to go with them, they still never leave my mind.

[DebsFavouriteThings]

Thanks to Jazzgirl8888 for featuring this great video on her channel. Very sad to hear of Riley's passing. What a brave dog.

[teckeltranquille]

Bravo !!!!!! =)

[mrfloppy78]

It's make's me sad to hear the Riley passed away. Not knowing him, but I think he was one of the best, well trained and always ready for the job. I'm a USAR team member in Germany and our work is strongly connected to K9 units (IRO).

Riley you did a great job! You'll always be in the thoughts and hearts of those who loved you.

We'll always leave a light on for you. RIP dear comrade

[welchyjd1]

[wolfmoongirl]

Chris and Riley came over from Johnstown to help us here in State College, PA when we had a parking garage collapse a few years after 9/11. I was in awe of their abilities. K9 Riley will be forever remembered as an American K9 Hero. Chris, those of us in PA and the rest of America , we will mourn your loss with you. We are so very sorry. Thank you to both of you for all of your long hours of training and all the times you were there for us.

[caselfridge]

On 2/26/10, Riley passed away. He was our family pet, my friend and partner. Riley was 13 in November. He lived a good life and taught me many lessons during his time with me. He will be greatly missed. I love you Bub!

[lindaleigh69]

@caselfridge Hi Chris...this is Linda Mike Capriotti's sister. I remember you and Riley coming down to the archery shop and shooting with us. I am so so sorry that he is gone, he will always be my best 9/11 Hero. I still have my golden Marilyn, she turned 13 in June and I cherish every moment I have left with my best friend. I feel blessed to have known you both...

[Dusty710]

I was honored to meet Riley and Chris at Goldstock, and I am so sorry to hear that Riley has passed on. My thoughts and prayers are with Riley's family. Good boy, Riley! Job well done!!!!

[pearldrumkid]

Thats my uncles dog you shits!

[FilmLou]

This you shits -- since I shot this video, who's your uncle, asswipe?

[lindaleigh69]

@pearldrumkid This is definitely Riley and Chris in this video, clearly you are confused...

[jaggedmoss]

Just to let everyone know, Riley is still with us on this the 8th year after those scumbags sucker punched us. He has not left my side all day.

[daionara]

Thank God for him!

[hobeangel]

[corusoresgate]

This is an amazing video, here in Brazil we are trying to train a dog like the old riley, god bless this dog. We´ll miss you riley

[09RedRoses09]

What a wonderful Angel this dog is!! Golden Retrievers are my favorite dogs and I believe that they are truly golden Angels just like this one is

[GERMANSHEPHERD69]

thank you and your welcome.

[tapatia0131]

Oh my God is a Fantastic !!!

5 Star!!! :)

[BSBFAN2007]

You are a good dog Riley keep up the good work good boy

[puggykisses]

AWESOME dog!!!

[Thorecale]

Respect!! 5/5** for Riley

[RednPhoenix]

True heroes in the video...Riley and all the brave rescue workers.

[anaarta]

I happen to disagree with the you. The name doesnt matter as long as the praise belongs to the right dog. So whatever praise is given to those heroes will reach them no matter the name.

[TwinR2]

Typical Golden Retriever they sre the best dogs they rock

[digoclocks]

this remainds me of my friend and partner. He was also a golden and i've learned him also to do rescu. He was also very calm and full of confidence in himself and in me. Together we were as one. He past away 5 years ago. God, i miss him but i'm convinced that he is waiting for me on the other side. Can't wait to be with him again and finaly know who and what he realy was on this earth.

And what his real purpose was.

[abbyraffles]

Good for you, Riley. What a Brave dog. How calm in the midst of chaos.

[Hepif3]

im guessing cuz the police code of a dog is probably k-0 just like 420 or 187

[SegaJackNLS]

Why are they called K9 ? is it because it sounds like canine?

[Lavendercent]

This is touching--the calm of the dog in the midst of such devestation, and the trainers who love him unconditionally. My thoughts to those who were not rescued....

[theflyingflea]

yay for Riley ^^ All the dog did a good job of course <3<3

[FilmLou]

Riley is still with us -- and still a member of the PA USAR Team. By the way -- I have a chocolate lab named "Shea." FilmLou

[Ienjoydogs]

I have a german shepherd name Shea and a chocolatelab named Maggie!

Did that dog Riley die?

[bhobsolid]

Consider this: millions -- not a few sickos, folks, but millions of Koreans, Chinese other asians look at "Riley" -- this magnificent, intelligent, BRAVE animal -- and see freaking dinner. Think about that. I try not to, but there it is. "Welcome to Beijing for Olympics! You have good time! Clean city, not dirty like NYC! You like eat some puppies?" Absolutely unreal...

[colby2n]

Very true they kill dogs for food and they also kill dogs and cats for their fur. I should not say kill they skin them alive. And I do not belong to PETA

[justalittlekitten196]

As usual Lou you capture the behind the scene video and it is always heart warming. Riley is a hero in my eyes. We lost so many people in our "family" and those SAR are amazing! Thanks again.

[xekax]

i love this video

oh and just btw, riley looks like an golden retriever, not a yellow lab

[FilmLou]

Thanks for the comment xekax -- You'd think I'd know since my SAR partner is a Chocolate Lab named Shea. (Lou)

[ZnapsR]

that dog is a hero he should been given a life time surplys of hoes make more hero babys and next attack were ready so good doggy

[gfn02]

Powerful, uplifting stuff. A treasurous post! 5 stars.

[Rh1no1]

Love animals :)

[Jazzgirl8888]

[FilmLou]

Thanks Jazzgirl and Worldted -- Today I filmed a special tribute in new Jersey for 50 dogs that served at Ground Zero. I'll have it posted by tomorrow. (fingers crossed)

[Jazzgirl8888]

I can't tell you how much I will look forward to seeing it!I will check back with you .Thanks for letting us know FilmLou!

[worldted]
