A Boston World's - WTC Collection

Saw a thing on channel 4 this morning while drinking a cup of coffee before leaving for work. They interviewed a blind man ( heavy set, my age or older) who was on the 78th floor of the WTC when the first plane hit. He and his seeing eye dog, "Roselle", started down the stairs, which were filled with smoke and after a few flights were covered in water. He said he could smell the jet fuel and was afraid that Roselle was walking in jet fuel. They made it all the way down and outside, but still were not out of the woods. He could tell that the place was littered with debris by the way Roselle was leading him and he could here people running. He told Roselle to "follow the people", not a command she had ever heard before, and then to run. He said the most terrifying part was when he could hear the building collapsing behind them, because by then he was very disoriented, having no idea where they were but they made it to safety. Roselle, much to his relief, wasn't injured, only very dirty. This is the most moving story I have heard yet...every time I think of that brave, smart dog, I get tears in my eyes.

Dear Mickey,
I know something awful has happened because my guardians seem tense. When a crop-duster flies by, they look frightened. Sometimes when I walk into a room, Peggy jumps out of her skin! Wouldn't that be funny to see her do that! They are always looking at tv (that's very unusual around here) and even the tv looks different because everything is red, white, and blue and there are more things than usual floating across the screen. My guardians packed their suitcases last week (that always means we don't see them for a while) but today they unpacked them again. Something really strange is going on. I bet you understand this whole thing better than I do because you're a celebrity author. Hope things get back to normal around here. Love, Tut the Nut (Chesapeake Retriever)

Dear Mickey -
We can all be proud of the heroic efforts of the Rescue Dogs and the bravery shown by those such as "Big Red". I was also saddened to hear of the Rescue Dog who died in the performance of duties and of those who were treated for serious injuries. I salute them all for their courageous efforts.
Sincerely, Babe
