DAISY

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. 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, she 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. The
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.

Great story! What a hero. I know that in my mom's city they sent police officers and K-9 units to N.Y. also when 9-11 happened. One of the k-9 dogs from her city came out of retirement with his handler to go to N.Y. for search and rescue. He managed to sniff out a cavity in the wreckege and save I think 8-10 people. The rescuers were supised because I believe this was the next day. They didn't expect him to find anyone alive. He also (k-9 officer) received a metal in my mom's city for his efforts. These aid dogs are such a blessing to people. Its amazing how smart they are.

I did the same thing, tried looking for pic & found only posts saying it was a hoax

Nice while it lasted though & as we know there are a lot of brave animals out there anyway,
