NOT ALL HEROES ARE PEOPLE ~ ~ ~

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. Daisy is the first civilian Canine to win the Medal of Honor of New York City.







I hope you enjoyed this story. I thought it was terrific.

Be kinder than necessary,

True or not, it's very typical of dogs who risk a great deal and it's a great story.

I can believe it knowing how caring the Golden Retrievers are. Last night
I didn't go to bed at the same time as Ted did because I was getting Avis
situated and Rex made countless trips until he got me to go to bed. I didn't realize what he wanted until I got in the bedroom and he immediately
jumped in bed. He just couldn't relax until the three of us were together.

It is a great story- but unfortunately, it is just that- a story, pure fiction. Who said it had to be true to be inspirational and heart-touching?

Well not sure as I said this was sent to me.Who knows whatever.
But an inspirational story?
