Last Surviving 9/11 Rescue Dog Gets a Birthday Bash

A female golden retriever named Bretagne is the last living rescue dog that worked in lower Manhattan in the rubble of the fallen Twin Towers after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

In honor of her 16th birthday, the website BarkPost.com threw her a birthday bash in the Big Apple.

Bretagne's handler and owner Denise Corliss, a member of the Texas Task Force 1 rescue team, worked with Bretagne searching for survivors after the attack. It was Bretagne's first deployment, according to BarkPost, and the pair have been together ever since.

In the BarkPost video above, you can get a front-row seat for Bretagne's trip to New York with Corliss, her party, and even her trip to Times Square.

Happy Birthday, Bretagne! And thanks to Corliss, Texas Task Force 1, and all of the rescue workers out there for all you do!
