Salty and Roselle were two guide dogs who were with their owners in the World Trade Center during the September 11 attacks in New York City. They each guided their owners out of the burning towers before the buildings collapsed, feats which were later recognized when they were awarded the Dickin Medal by the British charity the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals.[1] Roselle went on to be posthumously named American Hero Dog of the Year 2011 by American Humane, and has a book written about her.
