But it wasnt an early death. She lived a long, full life. It was beginning to be very difficult for her to walk, she had kidney failure, and hadnt eaten in days. She was suffering
way way too true. I sure hope there are dogs in heaven....and horses and rabbits and cats and lions and even squirrels....but especially PANDAS....if I was a kid who had to do a make a wish it would be a panda care taker for a week...no Disney crap for me. my dream job...Bo matter what the pay would be a panda surrogate.
Sislertx What if animals get their own heaven, but humans can go see them, and if the animal wants to come back with them, they can live if human heaven?
Chiefly Chieftain I always thought the same but then I figured God needs them in heaven and there are so many dogs in need of us if dogs lived till 75 to many dogs would suffer so as tuff as there passing is its gods way of saying there's another dog out there that needs you then as soon as you have them you soon realise you need them
Someone needs to compile a book on these dogs and their handlers. Heroes of our darkest time, that gave so much. I cried, but I also smiled. Thank you, Bretagne and all that have gone before you!
As much as I agree with that quote, it doesn't mean anything favorable for us. There are massive injustices in the meat industry (this is coming from someone who eats meat) and it not only hurts the animals, but also the farmers forced to carry out such conditions. I'm pretty sure John Oliver did a piece of chicken farming which is worth checking out.
***** It wasn't really exploitation or pedophilia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi#Women en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi#Brahmacharya.2C_celibacy I can't begin to understand why sleeping with young girls naked would be a religious experiment, but fuck. People have done much worse in the name of religion and for all the good that Ghandi did, I don't think we should slander him over a single thing. Also, the quote regarding animals remains too, regardless of how you feel about who said it.
Currently crying in the middle of a restaurant. Do I care? Nope! Happy Birthday, Bretagne and thank you for your service; you truly are a hero. God Bless.
+khriseagle no they aren't they are wolfs selectively bred by humans that made them what they are but i see why you think, because that is one wounder full dog
Lol i didnt remove your comment buddy. You are free to say your opinions such as i am. Just cause we disagree doesnt mean you have to throw insults. Take a walk with a dog ;)
Thank you so much for your service Bretagne. Even tho you have crossed the rainbow bridge. Your heroic and paw some loving spirit and legacy will always live on and you are never forgotten after what you did almost now 21 years ago on 9/11. Your truly a hero. Rest in Paradise. it’s almost been 6 years since you crossed the rainbow bridge. You will forever be missed and loved. Rest in Paradise and rest easy my girl 🥺🥺❤️❤️💔🐶🐶😢😢😪😪
I love Bretagne just diving right into the treats. Bretagne being 112 in dog years... I think she knows she shouldn’t bother worrying about her figure anymore. Ha!
I am so sorry you've lost your Bretagne. I hope remembering days like her "best day ever" and being able to lay down with her in the night, will bring you comfort in the days ahead. She gave the best of herself, but so did you.
Soo confused. The water works are flowing freely but she's had a wonderfully long life with a loving handler so I'm also smiling and ... I think I'm just going to go wake up my dog and give him a big squeeze.
+Stacie Grissom II generally tear up when it comes to 9/11 but throw an animal in the mix and you can stick a fork in me cuz I'm done. A crying mess!!!
RIP Bretagne. I cant thank you enough for all of work for America. Just hearing all the dogs best day people did for her made me cry. Thank you for your service kind and loving dog.
I absolutely bawled from beginning to end! What a brave dog and gorgeous smile she has :) I hope Bretagne will have a special 17th birthday too, she deserves it
+Nicole MK Ball: to ball, balled, balling was British & American slang for intercourse back in the 60's and 70's. Bawling and to bawl on the other hand refer to crying.
Nicole MK No problem, it is easier and kinder to share knowledge than to ridicule another's error. We all knew what you meant, we watched the same video and teared up too. God Bless You
I just had to be cutting up onions while watching this. Thank You for your exemplary service Bretagne, and may your life's memories never be forgotten.
Love this beautiful video! This reminds me of the book Thunder Dog. It's about another service dog who was with his companion during the attack, the guy was working in one of the towers at that time! I'm grateful for all of these amazing service dogs who served our country on this historic day. Happy Birthday Bretagne!!
To the 141 thumbs down... you have no heart. This is a wonderful celebration of an beautiful dog's service to humanity. So glad I saw this wonderful film. I have tears in my eyes, such is the beauty of this story.....
RIP Bretagne. You had looked you had a really great day. Bretagne sadly passed away on 6/6/2016 aged 16 years. She received salutes as she was taken to the vet.
Cried all the way through and proud of it!! Can't imagine watching this dry eyed!! What a dog, and what a mom/owner/handler!! Beautiful pair of life saving brave and giving beings!!! Thank you both so so so much.
Rest in Peace, Bretagne. To a true hero, we love you. Thank you for your service, and all of the things you’ve done for lots of people, please know that you will never be forgotten. Sending lots of love to you, Nora
Very sad Bretagne passed away few years ago she was such loving amazing dog. Life is very short it passes so quickly especially for dogs it is already 18 years passed since 9/11 may we learn to cherish every moment & live life in more loving and peaceful way
I lived in NYC during 9/11. I lost my friend, Josh Piver who worked at Cantor. While putting up missing posters for Josh, we got to pet this amazing dog. It’s the one bright memory I have of that horrible day
Thank you for your service, Bretagne! Such a beautiful, sweet angel. God bless her and her family! I cried during this video, this is absolutely a fantastic thing to do for her; she's helped us so much that she deserves the same love back. Thank you for giving her such a lovely and well deserved day! love from California. xx
I bawled when they showed her being saluted into the vets office for the last time on the news. It feels like yesterday. 😢😢😢🙏🌈 Rest In Peace sweet precious girl.
I'm bored and trying to see how far back I can go in my youtube watch history. Right now I'm looking at videos I watched in September 2015 and this video was there. This is so wholesome to watch again and brought tears to my eyes. I remember hearing about her passing too. What a good dog she was.
Rest in peace Bretagne, I'll say a prayer for you tonight (forgive me if I pronounce your name wrong 😀) I'm sure your in heaven playing in the water happily waiting for your handler to be reunited again forever together
Once you have the honor to have a Golden as a member of the family all other kinds of dogs become invisible. My Golden was raised in my classroom. She touched hundreds of lives, children and teachers alike. After 12 years we went to the vet and I knew that that would be our last day together. I had selfishly carried her inside and outside during the last week as her body gave out. I did not want to say goodbye. When the good doctor gave her the shot to stop her suffering i just laid beside her and the cries of deep sorrow that emerged came from depths of love and sadness that I did not know existed. Dogs like mine and like Bretagne teach us about unconditional love, loyalty and courage.
I wish they would have taken her to ground zero memorial to show the goodness that came out of that horrible day. New York is still rebuilding to this day and they’re becoming stronger. God bless you Bretagne. Love your name by the way. RIP Bretagne.
I am sad to inform everyone that she has been crossed the rainbow bridge today, June 6th.
She was saluted on her way to the vet.
Dogs are the last animals to deserve an early death, they're so innocent.
But it wasnt an early death. She lived a long, full life. It was beginning to be very difficult for her to walk, she had kidney failure, and hadnt eaten in days. She was suffering
Rhey I know, i'm just saying that dogs die early generally,
+Drogon Targaryan I know. it is such a shame that we do not get to spend more time with them.
+Rhey My Dog Have Kidney Failure too together with heart failure
Thanks for your service. A dog's life is way too short.
Their only fault!
+Christopher Saunders
amen
way way too true. I sure hope there are dogs in heaven....and horses and rabbits and cats and lions and even squirrels....but especially PANDAS....if I was a kid who had to do a make a wish it would be a panda care taker for a week...no Disney crap for me. my dream job...Bo matter what the pay would be a panda surrogate.

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING.
+Montana Goss I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not crying you're crying. I'm really tough. 😉
+Montana Goss me too
+Montana Goss totally crying. No shame at all lol :'(
+Montana Goss Cried like a baby
Yes I am crying. Happy now?
Step 1. Try not to cry
Step 2. Curl up in a ball
Step 3. Cry a LOT
Someone needs to compile a book on these dogs and their handlers. Heroes of our darkest time, that gave so much. I cried, but I also smiled. Thank you, Bretagne and all that have gone before you!
+Kate Garner Its been done. have to search for it tho.
I found it - www.amazon.com/Dog-Heroes-September-11th-Americas/dp/159378998X Thank you for the heads up!
+Kate Garner The book is awesome! I read it a few months ago. All of the bios and pictures will make you read it all in one sitting (and in tears) !
+Nicole MK Thank you for the review!
+Kate Garner there are videos on here as well, just search 911 rescue dogs
rest in peace cute doggy, thanks for your service. DAMN THOSE FUCKING ONION CUTTING NINJAS
And the tiny violin-playing ninjas!
She was put to sleep not long ago, or died, can't remember. But she passed away in June. :(
rip :(
she is

Currently crying in the middle of a restaurant. Do I care? Nope! Happy Birthday, Bretagne and thank you for your service; you truly are a hero. God Bless.
+taylorluvshorses16 sure you are
Yes I cried too. God bless u too Bretagne!
It should be God should be called Dog (God is Dog) and Dog should be God (Dog is God)!
Please don't. You're making it awkward for everyone around you.
RIP Bretagne. Say hello to my dog in heaven :[
And both of mine. :,3
+Jayfeather and mine to :(;(
Black Umbreon mine as well😔❤️
And mine :'(
Black Umbreon and mine😭
R.I.P. Beautiful Bretagne.......She's at Rainbow Bridge now, with all our past pets, hope to meet you and see all my pets when I get to heaven....
I'm glad that God creates dogs for us..they are the best gift ever!!!
Sad that these beautiful animals don't get to live longer. What an amazing creature. Nothing else to say.
Finally, an owner who TAKES CARE of her dog.
I don't care what ANYONE says....dogs are proof that God exists.
+khriseagle no they aren't they are wolfs selectively bred by humans that made them what they are but i see why you think, because that is one wounder full dog
Guy removed my comment for saying "no this proves dogs exist" typical facist religious ideology at work here.
Lol i didnt remove your comment buddy. You are free to say your opinions such as i am. Just cause we disagree doesnt mean you have to throw insults. Take a walk with a dog ;)
Im a grown man crying my eyes out!!! Thank god for these wonderful dogs... 😚
As a proud owner of a very special service dog this hits home. Happy birthday from one specia pup to an even more special pup.
Can't think of a better way to honor 9/11 victims and those who provided selfless support during the crisis. /salute
definition of dog-everyones best friend
dogs dont live that long. this is an amazing heart warming video. this dog deserves it.
I hope she knew how loved and special she was, how much of a hero. Sweet girl, such a long life and full life for a doggo. We salute you both.
Thank you so much for your service Bretagne. Even tho you have crossed the rainbow bridge. Your heroic and paw some loving spirit and legacy will always live on and you are never forgotten after what you did almost now 21 years ago on 9/11. Your truly a hero. Rest in Paradise. it’s almost been 6 years since you crossed the rainbow bridge. You will forever be missed and loved. Rest in Paradise and rest easy my girl 🥺🥺❤️❤️💔🐶🐶😢😢😪😪
How are people disliking this?
+Niklas lyberg Maybe they're terrorists.
+Niklas lyberg
They're dog owners imagining all the rocket-propelled shits the trainer will have to clean up in the morning.

I love Bretagne just diving right into the treats. Bretagne being 112 in dog years... I think she knows she shouldn’t bother worrying about her figure anymore. Ha!
RIP Bretagne, hope you're resting in the big dog park in heaven
Thank you for your service I have a training service dog who saves my life everyday
Time stops for no one. Goodbye sweet dog.
We will never forget you Bretagne
wtf I straight up cried.. I never cry. rip
I did as well, and I'm an old man.
16 for a golden retriever?! That freaking old, she must have good healthy genes! Congratz girl :D
3:59 this expression is why I *love* dogs
What did we ever do to deserve dogs??? Amazing video
I am so sorry you've lost your Bretagne. I hope remembering days like her "best day ever" and being able to lay down with her in the night, will bring you comfort in the days ahead. She gave the best of herself, but so did you.
Soo confused. The water works are flowing freely but she's had a wonderfully long life with a loving handler so I'm also smiling and ... I think I'm just going to go wake up my dog and give him a big squeeze.
I've watched this 10 times and can't stop tearing up.
+Stacie Grissom Grow some balls.
+Chickens Will Rise i wouldnt want to cross this badass in the middle of the night!
My sleep is more valuable than engaging with trashy human beings "in the middle of the night."
+Chickens Will Rise lol :D
+Stacie Grissom II generally tear up when it comes to 9/11 but throw an animal in the mix and you can stick a fork in me cuz I'm done. A crying mess!!!
That is the sweetest freaking dog!
Golden Retrievers are the best dogs!

There all the best and all are equally the same.

+tlopesgsd Those ninjas are everywhere.
You're welcome.

I cried when they announced her name on the cobble stone! She is beautiful and she deserved that birthday. Thank you Bret!
Rest in peace Britagne. You have done God's work all your life, you deserve an endless rest and all the love in the world. Rest in peace, pupper.
I absolutely bawled from beginning to end! What a brave dog and gorgeous smile she has :) I hope Bretagne will have a special 17th birthday too, she deserves it

Unfortunately Bretagne passed away last year, but... she will always be a hero. RIP Beautiful Girl
