This is a portrait of survival and teamwork that was displayed on 9/11.

On the morning of September 11th, Michael Hingson was at his desk on the 78th floor of the North Tower. He had come into the office early for a meeting. Michael, who has been blind since birth, worked as a computer salesmen and his 3-year old Labrador Retriever “Roselle” was his guide dog. Roselle was asleep at his feet when American Airlines flight 11 struck the building 15 floors above them. She was awakened by the explosion and immediately went to work. With a tight grip on the dog’s harness, Roselle navigated Michael to stairwell B. Through the heavy smoke and mass confusion, the dog took point, leading her owner and 30 others down some 1,463 steps to the ground level. “While everyone ran in panic, Roselle remained totally focused on her job…debris fell around us, and even hit us, Roselle stayed calm." Around the 30th floor, the brave firefighters who were heading the opposite direction started passing Michael. They each stopped to offer him assistance, but he declined. Michael gave them the opportunity to pet Roselle, providing many of those heroes with what would be their last experience of unconditional love. The harrowing descent took just over an hour. Once clear, the guide dog led Michael to a nearby subway station entrance where she even helped a woman who had been blinded by falling debris. The crumbling tower fell just moments later. Michael and Roselle both survived that day.

In 2002, Roselle, along with another guide dog from that morning and a search & rescue dog who assisted at ground zero, were all awarded the United Kingdom’s Dickin Medal for their heroic service. The Medal is often referred to as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross and has been awarded only 73 times since 1943. The pair went on to travel all around the world, speaking to audiences about trust, teamwork, guide dogs and blindness. She passed away in 2011 from an auto-immune disorder at the age of 13.

“When I remember how she behaved on that morning in 2001, I think the most powerful thing she taught me was that working together is the most powerful thing we can do”.
