 It
is not the critic that
counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the
doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great
enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who, at
the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who, at worst, if
he fails, at least fails by daring greatly; so that his place will never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Responding to people in
distress has long been an honorable, charitable tradition. MARK9 consists of a
dedicated team of professional volunteers who carry on this tradition by
donating thousands of hours to train their dogs for the sole purpose of helping
others in times of need. All members are required to have a minimum of Basic
First Aid and CPR. Many members have additional training, such as EMTs and
Paramedics. All of our dogs are owned by their handlers and all costs incurred
during training and responding on missions is the sole responsibility of the
handler.
If you are interested
in sponsoring our team, please see the "How You
Can
Help" Page.
