Widely honored for their life-saving work at the World Trade Center, Salty and Roselle were yellow labs whose work saved the lives of many people during the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.
The dogs led their owners — and others — more than 70 floors down to the ground after the attacks, and then through the blizzard of debris when the towers collapsed.
Roselle's owner, Michael Higby, said: "While everyone ran in panic, Roselle remained totally focused on her job, while debris fell around us, and even hit us, Roselle stayed calm."
