Daisy..... the hero dog
I was surfing the net for some information and ran across this, Jack you will appreciate this story....
Subject: Daisy the Hero!
James Crane worked on the 101st 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 followed orders and 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 came back along with James' boss, who Daisy just happened to pick up on floor 112.
On her first run of the building, she led 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 into the building. On her second run, she saved 392 lives. Again she went back in. During this run, the building collapsed. James hears about this and falls on his knees in 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 helped rescue 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.

However, there is a thread of Truth to this story:

However, there is a thread of Truth to this story:
At least two men were guided to safety by their guide dogs: Michael Hingson from the 78th floor by Roselle, and Omar Rivera from the 71st floor by Dorado. Neither dog then returned to rescue others, though
