We all know dogs are man’s best friend, but sometimes they are our heroes and saviors too.
Take, for example, Bretagne (pronounced Brittany), who was the last surviving Ground Zero rescue dog. The Golden Retriever was two years old when she and her handler, Denise Corliss, were part of the Texas Task Force 1 sent to the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan after the terrorist attack brought down the buildings on September 11, 2001.
With Bretagne’s passing, that legacy has passed with her but her memory will live on.
We still have heroic canines among us, but none who were present at 9/11. Bretagne was given a hero’s salute as she made her way into the veterinary clinic.
She would have been 17-years-old in August and while her body may have passed, her spirit will live on with those she assisted on that fateful day.
If your heart aches with love for the incredible Ground Zero rescue dogs and all service dogs, then PLEASE SHARE this story of love and friendship with friends of your own.
