    911dog saves day

    I don't think anyone has seen this ,don't even know if it's true . Sure hope it is ALL HEROES ARE NOT PEOPLE:


    True story from 9-11-01.

    James Crane worked on the 101st floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center.

    He is blind so he has a golden retriever named Daisy. After the plane hit 20
    stories below, James knew that he was doomed, so he let Daisy go, out of an
    act of love.

    With tears in her eyes she darted away into the darkened hallway. Choking on
    the fumes of the jet fuel and the smoke, James was just waiting to die.
    About 30 minutes later, Daisy comes back along with James' boss, who Daisy
    just happened to pick up on floor 112.

    On her first run of the building, Daisy leads James, James' boss, and about
    300 more people out of the doomed building.

    But she wasn't through yet. She knew there were others who were trapped. So,
    highly against James' wishes, she ran back in the building.

    On her second run, she saved 392 lives. Again she went back in. During this
    run, the building collapses. James hears about this and falls on his knees
    into tears.

    Against all known odds, Daisy makes it out alive, but this time she is
    carried by a firefighter. "She led us right to the people before she got
    injured." the fireman explained. Her final run saved another 273 lives. She
    suffered acute smoke inhalation, severe burns on all four paws, and a broken
    leg, but she saved 967 lives.

    Next week, Mayor Guilaini rewards Daisy with the Canine Medal of Honor of
    New

    York. Daisy is the first civilian Canine to win such an honor.

    Awesome stories. It may bot be farfetched. Dods have proven to be heros throughout the years.

    I had also read that story. I want to believe it's true so I tell myself it is. Animals can do wonderful things. Just watch an episode of Miracle Pets once. Thank you for sharing the story.

    I didn't hear that story, but I believe it is true, what a wonderful story that is. I believe one of the things dogs are here for is to give us love, patience and help in time of need. That dog certainly deserves a Medal.
