After 9/11 around 100 rescue dogs helped look for survivors, and then for remains. Bretagne, a golden retriever, was one of those, and today is that last one still alive. She was two at the time, and it was her first assignment. For her sixteenth birthday New York City rolled out the red carpet.
So many lost their lives that day, and so many more came together to help put things back together again. They all deserve our thanks and respect.
