BBC World Service - Witness History, Roselle the 9/11 guide dog

In 2001, Roselle helped his owner escape from the World Trade Center

In 2001, Roselle the guide dog helped her master out of the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terror attacks.

After the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, 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. 

In this programme, first broadcast in 2017, Simon Watts speaks to Roselle's owner, Michael Hingson.
