Sept. 11, 2001

Though 343 brave heroes fell at the twin towers, there was another hero who was not a firefighter and was not human.
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.
On September 11th, after the plane hit 20-stories below, James knew the 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 smoke and fumes from the jet fuel, James was waiting to die. About 30-minutes later, Daisy came back into the room along with James's boss. Daisy leads James and his boss and about 300 other people out of the doomed building.
But she wasn't through yet. She knew there were others that were trapped. Against James's wishes, Daisy runs back into the burning tower. On the run, she leads out 392 more people. Again, Daisy runs back into the building. This time, however, the building collapses. James hears this news and he falls to his knees in tears.
A firefighter appears, and in his arms is an injured, but still alive, Daisy. "She led us right to 273 trapped people just before she got injured," the firefighter reported.
Daisy suffered acute smoke inhalation, severe burns on all four paws, and a broken leg, but she saved the lives of 967 people. Mayor Guiliani awarded Daisy the Canine Medal of Honor of New York. Daisy is the first civilian canine to win this honor.

To those brave heroes who sacrificed everything that day, we will never forget!
