Dozier's Doggie Daze Top 20 Real Stories of Heroic Dogs Saving Human Lives Story 2 Trakr digs citizens out of a fallen building Meet Trakr. He is also a police dog and a shepherd dog like last weeks heroic dog, Rocky. He has longer hair though, and some spots on his body are not covered in black hair like Rocky. Can you tell where on Trakr and what color these other patches of hair are? Trakr is fa mous because he spent hours dig ging and helping people out from underneath a pair of buildings that had fallen down on top of them in September, 2001. Trakr used his paws to dig 30 feet down under the ground to find the last living person left behind; that means he dug the length of about six grandpas (insert your family's pet name for 'gramps' here) standing on top of each other.
