"Today the nation and the world remember the September 11th terrorist attacks on the 14th
anniversary. While we honor the memory of the victims and the first
responders who selflessly ran toward danger, one hero also being honored
is of the four legged variety.
"A major part of the response in the aftermath of the attacks was the
search and rescue teams looking for survivors in the rubble of the
collapsed World Trade Center twin towers. Rescue dogs were a vital part
of this operation who were able to sniff for human life. A dog named
Bretagne and her owner, Denise Carliss were part of the first wave of
responders having been deployed from Texas as part of a national
disaster group, Texas Task Force 1. Bretagne will soon turn
16-years-old.
