Roselle - The 9/11 Guide Dog

The inspiring story of how a Labrador helped her blind master out of the World Trade Center in September 2001.

After the 9/11 attacks, a New York guide dog called Roselle was hailed as a hero for helping her owner safely down 78 flights of stairs and away from the Twin Towers before they collapsed. Simon Watts talks to Roselle's owner, Michael Hingson.
