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. Daisy is the first civilian Canine to win the Medal of Honor
of New York City.
I hope you enjoyed this story. I thought it was
terrific.
Pass it on to all animal lovers ... Remember love is to
be shared to be multiplied..
This one's not funny - but it sure is an awesome animal story.
