In a bid to pay tribute to all the dogs that helped to search wreckage at Ground Zero after the bombing of the nation's financial center in 2001, a nonprofit organization is selling Sept. 11 search-and-rescue puppy dolls.

The Tribute Center situated near the World Trade Center site in New York is selling these stuffed toys for $11.95.

According to The NY Times, Lynn Tierney, president of the center and a former deputy fire commissioner said, "Those of us who were there understand the impact that the presence of these dogs had."

"Their job is noble and necessary. Their handlers are extraordinary people. This is a way of paying tribute to them," he added.

The 8-inch-tall toys are dressed in blue T-shirts decorated with two offset squares representing the void left by the World Trade Center towers.

Additionally, the Tribute Center is also selling T-shirts, polo shirts, baseball caps and coffee mugs decorated with the logo.
