Jerry Lee wasn't at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, but some of his comrades were. Amidst all the human drama were the heroics of the search-and-rescue dogs, many of them German shepherds. These dogs are smart, easy to train and extremely responsive. Having recently been abandoned, Jerry Lee is a 4-year-old purebred German shepherd looking for a hero of his own to rescue him from the shelter.
