TIL Roselle, a guide dog, led her blind owner down 78 floors of the World Trade Center on 9/11, calmly navigating smoke and chaos to save his life.

There's a good girl.
I wish people were as good as dogs
This was my feed when I saw this post.
The goodest girl.
Who is a good girl? Yes you are!
Holy shit. I'm just now finding out about this. Otherwise I'd have pet that dog all day when it was still alive.
I think the dog probably wanted to get out too
100%, grade-A, unadulterated, unfiltered, pure, angelic talent right there.
Is Roselle still alive (I know it's highly unlikely, but still asking). Did anyone know what happened to Roselle or her owner after 9/11?
- No. The article says she passed away in June 2011.
  
  RIP
- The oldest dog lived to 29 years old. So, I suppose it is possible she’s still alive. But I highly doubt it.
- Legends never die.
That's a lot of stairs.
- If you suppose it's only ~15 stairs per floor, about 1200.
