Here is a story of another heroic dog!
Good Dog Does God's Business
Taken from the New York Times

Namaste
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 he 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 lead us right to the people, before she
got injured" the fireman explained. Her final run saved other
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 rewarded Daisy with the Canine
medal of Honor of New York. Daisy is the first civilian Canine
to win such an honor.
