Despite being a dog afraid of thunder, Roselle, the guide dog, calmly carried out her duties amidst the deafening noise and debris on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11th 2001.
Guiding her blind owner, Michael Hingson, who sensed jet fuel, Roselle earned trust for not leading into danger. In the midst of smoke, Hingson, unsure if Roselle could hear or see signals, gave the command “Forward.”
Pausing only for dog kisses to reassure a panicked woman, this remarkable canine-human team led a group down over 1,463 steps to safety.
