Bretagne (rescue dog)

Bretagne (c. 2000 – June 7, 2016) was a Golden Retriever rescue dog who searched for survivors at Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. It was the first assignment for her and her owner and trainer, Denise Corliss. She appeared on the Today Show along with NBC News’ Tom Brokaw. She later participated in rescue efforts after Hurricanes Katrina and Ivan. She was retired at the age of 9. She is believed to have been the last surviving dog from the attacks when she was euthanized in Texas in 2016; she was 16 years old and suffering from kidney failure.
