A Heroe’s Last Walk, FireFighters Salute Final Living Search and Rescue Dog from 9/11 [VIDEO]

Get the tissues ready, because this is a tear-jerker. 

9/11/2001 is a day that everyone remembers vividly.  We often talk about the firefighters, police, and EMS first responders, but we don't too often speak of the dogs.  Many search and rescue dogs were brought to ground zero to search through the rubble to help find survivors, or recover those who didn't make it.  Yesterday, the last known surviving search and rescue dog from 9/11 was put to rest.

Britagne was a 16 year old golden retriever, and after her health recently took a turn for the worst, her owner made the hardest decision any pet owner will ever make, the decision to end your pets suffering.  When walking into the vets office, Britagne was sent off with a salute from officers, and afterwards they draped an American flag over her, and carried her out of the vets office.

She had a heroes send off, just as she deserved.

To all of the first responders, human or canine, thank you.
