Captain Scott Shields and his dog Theodore, son of Bear, the most celebrated
rescue dog at Ground Zero in 2001, were welcomed with open
arms by the campers at the Westport Historical Society's Time
Travelers Summer Camp today, as they presented the special
program "Lost in the Woods" to the campers.
"Lost in the Woods" is a 45 minute interactive presentation
created by Captain Shields which teaches kids to be safe and
to know what to do in emergencies. He travels around the country
with Theodore, the son of Bear, to present this special program.
Captain Shields developed the program "Lost in the Woods"
in honor of Bear, the first canine inside to search the rubble
at Ground Zero. Bear worked eighteen-hour days, and he is
credited with finding the most victims, including the beloved
FDNY Chief Peter Ganci and FDNY Commissioner Thomas Feehan.
