pronounced "Brittany"
Last surviving 9/11 search and rescue dog laid to rest in Cy-Fair
This is where I live, my fire department.
CYPRESS, Texas - Monday was a sad day for the men and women with the Cy-Fair Fire Department as they said their final goodbyes to Bretagne (pronounced "Brittany"), the last known surviving search and rescue dog who worked at Ground Zero after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Bretagne would have turned 17 in August, but the golden retriever's health had been declining recently and Monday her handlers took her to the vet's office to be put down.
She was given a hero's salute as she made the walk into the office for the last time.

I posted a Today Show story about her almost 2 years ago.
