If I go to heaven when I die I want to firstly be met by all the dogs I've had as pets over the years, so many beautiful souls that have shone a glorious light in even the darkest of times. My family, my friends all the humans I've loved can wait their turn, my dogs will come first.
Thank you sweet Britney. ❤
I saw a picture of her on fb and decided to do some research
My GSDs breeder is part of FEMA Penn Task Force 1 and was at ground zero in 9/11 with her dog Logan.
My dog’s littermate is now an urban SAR dog as well.
We don’t deserve dogs. Period. They deserve better than what we can give them. Nothing will ever be enough for our furry companions
Rest in peace canine heroes ❤️ you all are still remembered and will be remembered ❤️❤️❤️
Britney was so pretty. RIP. Thank you.
rest in peace bretagne you did good
This is what I remember fro 9/11 They were whining because they couldn't find ppl. First aid centers with vets were there wrapping
the paws. It made me cry the most.
RIP Bretagne. Thank you for your service.
RIP Brittany and thank you for your service
I volunteered at the trade tower from September 13th until the 17th I distinctly remember the German Shepherds and golden retriever dogs searching on the pile their paws were taped up forming little protective boots.
She will remain a hero. Such a lovely dog. It's hard to watch the whole video without crying. And yes its always heartbreaking when its time to say goodbye to our dogs but they will always remain in our Hearts. Her name is Bretagne, i see a lot of people calling her Brittany. Actually Bretagne is a part of France where i come From but in English its more common to say Britany. RIP sweet dog ❤️🐶
RIP the dogs who fought for our FREEdumb. O zugzwang
Bestest of those doggone doggos.
I noticed stories about pets tend to make me cry much more often than stories about humans 😂
I can't watch this without tearing up.
I heard that a lot of the dogs actually got depressed over only finding dead bodies and not actually any survivors. Just shows dogs are just as, if not more emotional than humans. Just pure love and compassion with dogs.
He wasn't just a good boy. He was the best.
Very sad 9-11-2001 very sad time for 🇺🇸 America very sad today and the years after we will never forget so many soul lost people and dogs❤❤❤rest in peace❤❤❤
I am sooooo glad the dogs get praises too 9-11-2001 still hard to grasp very sad rest in peace baby❤❤❤❤
The dogs got so stressed and sad because they are trained to rescue lives not to recover the dead.. kudos to these rescuers and other people volunteered to bury themselves and let the dogs find them just to cheer them up..
I bawl like a baby when a dog dies but when 100s and 100s of people die in those tower I don’t shed an ounce of emotion and I don’t know if that’s normal
😭😭😭😭😭
Goldens are the best dogs! ❤️🤧
RIP dearest Baby!
dog’s are legitimately angels… no intent, no lies, no hatred… they smile and all just want love.
Soo they killed the dog!! I think they should have a retirement home for dogs. What the heck is wrong with people
a great & loving tribute to Brittany who did so so much in her life, she definitely is a real hero forever loved xxxooo
all dogs can teach us something – thank you Brittany for your service
May she Rest In Peace and all those who died on 9/11 🙁
RIP sweet girl. Good grief, crying my eyes out right now.
Dogs make me believe that we're not the only ones who have souls. Those furry angels must have souls, and they deserve our kindness and respect. Hurts to think they are mistreated, abused, and killed around the world. We don't deserve them
Rip all the lovely hard working fur Baby's who helped saved lives
RIP baby girl 😔💔
Dogs are angels
😭😭😭 what An amazing dog 🐕 ❤ I think how they created that memorial for her is so beautiful
🐶🙏🏻❤️
HOW Beautiful I love Dog's!!!
I love dogs. I wished they lived longer.
I will never forget the stories of all the dogs who I have seen and read about over the years…🇿🇦
I'm in tears.. Thank you for your Service Brittany.. and to all the other Service animals who did their part on 9 11..
Godspeed
Thank you Brittany, may you rest in peace!
We don’t take care of dogs. THEY take care of us. 😥
Lets not forget about Sirius, a bomb sniffer dog who was stationed at the World Trainer and sadly perished when the towers fell.
Awwww Bretagne…I have always loved her sweet story. Rest In Peace precious girl. 😢🙏❤️ I cried when they gave her her farewell. I remember this on the news 😢😢😢😢
Peace with you and your dog
❤️
