Bretagne, a 16-year-old golden retriever and the last known remaining Sept. 11 search dog, was euthanized Monday in Texas.

Searching through the rubble of ground zero was her first-ever deployment, according to a press release by the Texas Engineering Extension Service, or TEEX, provided by KBTX-TV. Bretagne (pronounced Brit-nee) was 2 at the time, a newly certified FEMA Search and Rescue dog.

With handler Denise Corliss, Bretagne looked first for survivors, then for remains. They worked at the site for 10 days.

Leave it to NPR to come up with the ‘next’ headline stealing story. This’ll replace that Gorilla story and dominate the stories for the next week.

Agree to that. Dogs are the most loyal fiends we could ever have.

Lucky and blessed are those that love their dogs and treat them kindly. A dog wants to be with his/her master. Our presence is the most wanted thing by the dog.

Treat them kindly and you are blessed, indeed.
