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. Daisy is the first civilian Canine to win the Medal of Honor of New York City. How cool is this? I never heard about it, but my friend, Dolly, sent it to me and I was compelled to share it with you! |

Hi Linda J.!
As I told Dolly in an e-mail, I do not recall hearing this story before and I think it is extremely cool, if it's true. I heard one of the commentators remark that it is not often mention how many were actually able to get out, both from the Towers and the Pentagon. The value of fire drills and preparedness training!
I heard some area of WI were having frost....even in Holmen! Brrr....Sorry!
Sweating hugs,
Kim
