Western, NY Region Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) officers and staff with "Union Pride," a CSEA/AFSCME sponsored dog statue which was part of an American Kennel Club program to raise funds for search and rescue dogs. Union Pride and numerous other dog statues were on display throughout New York City in the year following 9/11 to commemorate the canine search and rescue teams that took part in the recovery at Ground Zero. The idea for a sponsorship of a CSEA dog came from Finger Lakes DDSO Local President Kathy Button, pictured kneeling second from the left, and was promoted by CSEA Executve Vice President Mary Sullivan.
