James
Crane
worked
on
the
101st
floor
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
darted
away
into
the
darkened
hallway.
Choking
on
the
fumes
of
the
jet
fuel
and
the
smoke
James
was
just
waiting
to
die.
About
30
minutes
later,
Daisy
comes
back
along
with
James'
boss,
who
Daisy
just
happened
to
pick
up
on
floor
112.
On
her
first
run
of
the
building,
she
leads
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
in
the
building.
On
her
second
run,
she
saved
392
lives.
Again
she
went
back
in.
During
this
run,
the
building
collapses.
James
hears
about
this
and
falls
on
his
knees
into
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
saved
967
lives.
The
next
week,
Mayor
Guiliani
rewards
Daisy
with
the
Canine
medal
of
Honor
of
New
York
.
Daisy
is
the
first
civilian
Canine
to
win
such
an
honor.
I
hope
you
enjoyed
this
story,
I
thought
it
was
terrific
!
