Bonus:
Bretagne, the Last 9/11 Ground Zero Service Dog

In this bonus, we want to ask you to remember those dogs who work on rescue teams, with blind or disable people, or who help firefighters. We want to highlight the story about Bretagne, a Golden Retriever who was a search-and-rescue dog that worked at many different places including the rubble of the World Trade Center site looking for survivors. For her last walk, she received an honor wall and salute. She has also been honored with a statue in her home town. RIP, Bretagne, thank you for your service.
