The Dog Who Wouldn't Stop Searching

On September 11, 2001, Apollo disappeared into a hole in the rubble at Ground Zero.

Then a fireball erupted.

Seconds later, the German Shepherd came running back toward his handler, NYPD Officer Peter Davis.

Apollo was on fire.

Davis brushed the burning embers from his thick coat.

And Apollo went right back to searching.

Apollo was nine years old—an age when many police dogs had already retired. But that morning, he and Davis became the first canine search-and-rescue team to arrive at Ground Zero.

The conditions were brutal.

To reach the rubble, Davis later recalled wading through water that came nearly to his waist. Apollo searched across jagged concrete and dangerously hot debris. His coat was singed. His paws became cracked and bruised.

Still, he searched.

Apollo had been trained to find the living. But as the hours passed, the terrible reality of the site became clearer. Eventually, Davis had to physically pull Apollo away from the debris when the dog refused to stop looking.

And Apollo wasn't alone.

Search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers worked through wreckage, dust and toxic fumes in the aftermath of the attacks. Apollo became a symbol of all of them.

On March 5, 2002, he was awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal for courage and devotion to duty. Apollo had been selected by ballot to receive the honor on behalf of every search-and-rescue dog that had worked at the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Apollo lived to be 14.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the people who ran toward danger that morning.

Apollo reminds us that not all of them ran on two legs.

Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001.

He has been blind since birth.

His guide dog, Roselle, was under his desk when the plane hit.

The building lurched.

Smoke filled the offices.

People shouted.

Roselle stood, calm, and waited for the harness.

They went into Stairwell B and started down. Seventy-eight floors.

Firefighters passed them going up.

Jet fuel burned in the air.

A woman stopped, too afraid to keep walking.

Hingson talked her forward.

Roselle never pulled away, never panicked, never stopped.

They reached the lobby and then the street.

Minutes later the South Tower fell and a wall of dust rolled over them.

Roselle kept leading.

Hingson lived.

Roselle lived.

They walked out of a building that would not be standing an hour later.

He has spent the years since telling the story not as a miracle of sight, but as a story of trust: a man who could not see the stairs, and a dog who did not need to be told that the only way out was down.

Remember Michael Hingson.

Remember Roselle.

Remember everyone who started down those stairs and never reached the street.

Cell phones don’t belong in the classroom. My plan to ban cell phones in K-12 classrooms and limit screen time keeps kids focused on what matters: learning. Let’s get it done.

In honor of our Pride celebration, we welcomed Minnesota State Senator Erin Maye Quade for our ceremonial puck drop!

Senator Maye Quade made history as the first openly lesbian member of the Minnesota State Senate and continues to be a strong voice for her community 💜

On Jan. 25, the Detroit Red Wings had the most points in the Eastern Conference and had an 89.5% probability to make the playoffs.

Just an incredible collapse.
