[nagdu] . O-T: Looking for a Daisy.

[Michael Hingson]

Myths are fine, but we also need truth.  This story is false.  There have
been many variations on it, but they all are not true.

The only two guide dogs high in either building were Roselle and Salty, both
of whom guided blind people out of Tower One.

My comment is that we need our myths.
All myths start with some truth and we gravitate to them in times of fear
and stress.  All cultures do this.
Let people hold onto what gives them hope.

    This story about a Golden Retriever named Daisy came around last week, a
few days after September 11th.  As it was, it had pictures of a Golden in
various poses.

    I replied about Michael Hingson's Roselle.  I also said a dog would not
save over nine hundred people -- as the story below tells.  And I conclude
this one is the hoax that came out ten years ago.

    Your comments?

    Artie and GDF Golden guide dog JJ by the Gulf,
    west central Florida.
    ===========

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

============  THE END.  +++++++++++++++++++
