Bretagne, 16, last known 9/11 search dog
 Bretagne was 2 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 Sept. 11, 2001. They spent 10 days at the scene searching rubble for human remains. Bretagne retired from active duty at age 9. She served as an ambassador for search and rescue dogs in retirement She was nominated for a Hero Dog Award from the American Humane Association in 2014. At 15, she was taken by Corliss to the 9-11 memorial and participated in an interview with Tom Brokaw of NBC News. In recent weeks she was in failing health. About two-dozen first responders lined the sidewalk leading to the veterinarian’s office and saluted Bretagne as she walked by for the final time Monday. An American flag was draped over her as she was carried out of the facility. http://globalnews.ca/news/2745804/91.../?sf28137339=1 |
