9/11 Rescue Dog

Following the tragic events of 9/11, Liza created two life-size 9/11 Rescue Dog memorials, integrating rubble from the World Trade Centers. Authentic protective booties and vest were used in the casting process of the dog. In both sculptures there is a partially hidden bronze casting of a crushed fireman's helmet.

The first of a limited edition of two is in a private collection in Upstate New York, 2002.
