On September 11, 2001, dogs served in different ways across the World Trade Center disaster — searching rubble, detecting danger, and guiding people through smoke-filled stairwells to safety.
Apollo, an NYPD German Shepherd, searched the ruins of Ground Zero alongside rescue crews.
Bretagne, a young Golden Retriever with Texas Task Force 1, worked through dust, twisted steel, and devastation. Years later, she became widely remembered as the last known surviving 9/11 search-and-rescue dog.
Jake, a black Labrador who had once been abandoned and badly injured, grew up to become a certified search-and-rescue dog. After 9/11, he spent days working through the wreckage at Ground Zero.
Sirius, a Port Authority Police yellow Labrador trained to detect explosives, was inside the World Trade Center that morning. His handler, Officer David Lim, secured him before rushing to help others evacuate.
Lim survived.
Sirius did not.
He became known as the only police dog killed in the 9/11 attacks.
And then there were Roselle and Salty.
They weren’t searching the rubble.
They were guide dogs.
Roselle helped her blind handler, Michael Hingson, escape from the 78th floor of the North Tower.
Salty helped his blind handler, Omar Rivera, descend from the 71st floor.
Through darkness, noise, fear, crowded stairwells, and chaos, they kept moving.
Six dogs.
Six very different stories.
Search dogs. Police dogs. Guide dogs.
None of them knew the meaning of terrorism.
None understood why that morning had changed America forever.
They simply did what they had been trained to do — and stayed beside the people who depended on them.
More than two decades later, their names still deserve to be remembered.
Apollo. Bretagne. Jake. Sirius. Roselle. Salty.
They searched.
They guided.
They served.
Never forget September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸🐾

On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists carried out a cowardly attack and murdered nearly 3,000 Americans.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward the danger, and the families who still carry that loss.
We will never forget.
@RepDonBacon looks like the discharge petition is the only path for the Major Richard Star Act. You did tell us multiple times you would sign it… Monday works for us. #MajorRichardStarAct
Your senators are back home throwing red meat at town halls.
Go and ask them why the bill to DEFUND THE TALIBAN has been stuck in the Republican controlled Senate for over a year.
$40 million a week is still going to the Taliban, a designated terrorist group in Afghanistan.
A Senator told me: We don’t have 10 Democratic votes to pass Defund the Taliban bill.
I told him: If that’s true, force the vote. At the minimum, C-SPAN will hand you perfect midterm ads of Democrats defending cash payments to the Taliban.
Truth is both sides own this now.
🚨🇺🇸Attention: Mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests
We say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system.. We will never forgot her ever 🙏🙏🙏
Some GOP leaders have turned a blind eye to Radical Islamic takeovers happening in their state.
It’s time for Christians to speak up!
@RobSchneider@OANN
The Taliban received $12M of your tax dollars at Kabul Airport while you sat in Church on Sunday, July 26, 2026, praying for peace. Your tax dollars fund terrorists. Senator John Barrasso can stop this by forcing a vote on our Defund the Taliban bill. Call him (202) 224-6441.
“I want to make sure that the veterans who would benefit from all of the legislation, particularly the Major Richard Star Act, are still living by the time that Congress is able to act.” -CM @JerryMoran on the importance of passing the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act.

The Major Richard Star Act costs $13B over 10 years. This is a drop in the bucket of DoD’s nearly trillion-dollar budget. We need 3 more signatures to force a vote on a clean Major Richard Star Act; we must get this done for our veterans.
☎️ Call your Rep. and tell them to sign the petition TODAY.
Ending the wounded veteran tax is our top priority. As @VFWHQ Commander Carol Whitmore said, "This is not double dipping; this is double sacrifice." We must pass the clean Major Richard Star Act NOW.
