Good morning dvm360^® readers! Today, we honor all of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. We also want to take a second to honor the search and rescue dogs who worked on the sites of the attacks as well as the service dogs who provide support to those impacted by 9/11 to this day.

Here is what you can find this week on dvm360.com:

• During a Q&A style interview with Brandy Duhon, DVM, she shares what her journey into veterinary medicine was like, advice she has for veterinary students, and what attendees can expect to take away from her upcoming keynote address at the upcoming Fetch Coastal conference.
