Gojira’s rescue, remembering the search dogs of 9/11, and two apps getting ready together.
An Asian water monitor named Gojira was rescued from a storm drain in Affton, Missouri.
Pearl: “Um, Bubba… why is there a lizard in Around the Water Bowl?”
Bubba: “He’s in the news, Pearl. Not in our kitchen.”
Pearl: “Oh. Well, welcome, Gojira!”
The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation reports that 13 of its teams deployed to Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks. Many of those dogs had themselves been rescued.
Their work continues today. The foundation rescues and recruits dogs, trains them for disaster searches, and pairs them with firefighters and other first responders.
One way to remember the dogs who served is to support the search dogs working today.

Bubba & Pearl: The Label Decoders was going to arrive first, followed by Healthy Home Decoder. But the more we worked on them, the more it made sense to prepare both for private testing together.

Want to help us try them out?
We’re gathering interest for a small private testing group. No experience needed. Just curious pet parents willing to try the apps and share honest feedback.
