She didn’t bark. She didn’t panic. She just led him to life—step by step. Roselle, the guide dog who saved her blind owner from the 78th floor on 9/11.
Discussion
Yeah she didn't look back because she was trying to get TF out of there
He was holding her back fr
What a selfish owner. How come he can't see!!!
Dog did what Orpheus couldn’t
Eurydice giving him side eye rn.
If I remember correctly the dog paused to comfort somebody in distress on the way down before carrying on.
Less than 20 floors below where the planes smashed into. Doggo was indeed a good girl.
To be fair the dog was probably like “dude we need to LEAVE! Hurry or I’m leaving you behind”
If he's blind, how does he know if she never looked back?
1) there is levels of blindness 2) if hes using a guide dog, then hes using a short leash and you can feel when a "dog looks back"
Also it's dramatization and regardless of whether she looked back the dog is amazing. Oh my god the sheer levels of autism on this platform
You're on here too so you better check your spectrum lol
I was agreeing with you. But regardless, sure Im on there no doubt.
I figured, i just really wanted to say check your spectrum lol. Me and the wife always say everyones at least a little autistic
A friend of mine who is blind, wanted to go skydiving on his 35th birthday but the authorities wouldn't allow him. They said it's too frightening for the guide dog..
Why did he want to put his dog through that 😭
Humanity doesn't deserve dogs. 🥺
We don’t deserve animals/creatures period. All we do is endanger and kill them.
Absolutely! They're too good for this world
I disagree strongly, most people treat their dogs as part of the family in Western countries, and the vast majority live happy lives & not worrying about food or drinkable water, its a win-win
The blind guy didn't look back either...or forward.
I see what you did there.
The blind guy didn't
Bravo sir. Set up perfectly and finished off beautifully. You win the internet today.
The dog's name is Roselle. She received a Dickin Medal and was posthumously named American Hero Dog of the Year 2011.
In addition to her owner, she led 30 other people down the stairwell of Tower 1. They emerged right as Tower 2 collapsed, sending debris flying. Roselle led her owner to the safety of a subway station, where they helped a woman who had been blinded by falling debris.

Meanwhile nasty dogs with service animal vests are in all public places and airlines.
So many idiots on here, just because of one word.
It’s scary
I bet she barked at least once
The world collapsed? Pretty sure it was just 2 towers.
Didn't a third one nearby fall down?
Yes
They missed saying trade centre after world
For you, the observer it sure looked like towers are collapsing, but for people inside or around the towers it must have looked like the world is collapsing on them. And a lot of things changed in the world after 9/11. It was not "jUsT 2 ToWeRs"
If you don't understand how the world change before 2001 and after you were likely born after 2001 or are simply ignorant.
If you're over 18 now or will be soon you should take the time to educate yourself. Not only on American policy shifts but global stature on terrorism and security. 2001 lead to major rights being stripped across the developed world from private citizens.
Not to be a bitch, but it seems like Americans do often overblow how big that even was.
I've seen a clip of a popular streamer Asmongold discussing whether the current generation is having a harder life than the previous, and he's like "Nope, have you watched the 2 towers fall on the TV? Because I have".
Sorry, but as a non-American, there is a lot of things happening daily, that are significantly more disastrous than that.
My brothers in Christ we are talking about a dog. To the dog, the world around her completely collapsed. The dog. No one here is saying this event 20 years ago was "world collapsing" in actuality, but from that good girl's POV it may as well have been.
You're right about the sentiment as a whole, I agree absolutely, but again: she was a dog.
Nah, we aren't talking about the dog. The doggies are better than we deserve, no doubt. We're talking (or I was talking) about the 911 in general.
If you use Asmongold as an example of “people”, then you need to talk to more/different people..
It's not what I said, clearly. It was just an example and you know it and cling to it as if the persona of Asmongold is gonna somehow nullify what I said.
No, you are being a bitch
Yes, seconded. He's 100% being a bitch.
"Global acts of terror happen every day."/Rick Sanchez
Kinda like American overthrowing governments, installing dictatorships, killing innocent civilians directly, and indirectly because of said dictatorships?
Absolutely loathe America, American culture. Bunch of vermin playing with people for profit.
It’s always helpful to group millions of people together and hate them. Great view ya got there.
What's wrong with that?
It’s almost like there’s actually like 12 people that control all of that stuff you mentioned so hating an entire population for it is kind of stupid and childish.
Easy there Bin Laden
Where are you from?
Pluto, but I moved to Jupiter in my late teens
So Australia, got it
Well done cobba
...where the US government couped the government of Gough Whitlam because he opposed the Vietnam war and wanted to close down the massive CIA bases the US has in Australia which are used to spy on everybody over on that side of the planet...
Wonderful grammar.
I'm not a native speaker. Хочешь я буду писать по русски? Могу даже без ошибок.
It shows
You don't understand. What could have ever been harder than to see these two towers fall? Watching that live was the biggest hardship any human ever had to endure.
EDIT: /s, since it wasn't obvious enough apparently.
JUST two towers? This disaster changed the whole world.
Exactly.
Jeez. All over the comment section it’s “how do we know she didn’t look back?” And “the world collapsed? It was just two towers!”
Stop taking everything so literally. Clearly those phrases are figurative.
He’s blind and the caption is “never looked back?”
The dog not him
The "world"
Almost balto level
Is this title written by AI? So much for Dead Internet theory..
Im not crying! You are! You're crying 😢 😭
Everyone else ran for their lives. She led someone else’s. No medals, no speeches, just a tail, a harness, and a heart built for loyalty.
Spotted the AI comment
Guilty of being dramatic, maybe… but I promise I’m just a guy with a soft spot for heroic dogs and a flair for words. No AI, just ADHD and maybe too much tea.. lol 😂
In other words, the guide dog did what it was trained to do . . .
'the world'
It was one building collapsing, not the world.
Although the world was different after that
The Federal Emergency Management Agency lists 56 buildings damaged or destroyed in New York City due to the September 11 attacks. Five buildings fully collapsed,

Its a post about a guide dog with people commenting on the dog. Why make this political and bring antisemitism to a post about a dog…. Pretty sure you are the problem here.
What?
Any post related to 9/11 has insane hatred. Idk why, it's a mess there. Completely false information would be shared with absolute confidence. Not even some creative ones just the usual bullshit with ominous music in the background. Nowadays I can't think of 9/11 without the wild conspiracies that the algorithm keeps pushing.
Amazing! Why am I just hearing of this?!
There's an upper limit to this theory. First you should define old here or we are just blowing in the wind (Bob Dylan)
it will never be not funny to me how after sponsoring certain elements for decades it blew back in Americans face and suddenly they became the victims.
Makes me wonder what were the stairwells like in 9/11?
I’d imagine complete terror. If you’ve ever felt it, you don’t ever want to experience it again.
I mean like were people stuck unable to get downstairs due to crowding, were people carrying things and being in the way, etc.
Is that Harvey Weinstein?
Ok but how can we know she never looked back.
The big questions of life.
Meanwhile a recent study states that dogs always prioritize humans as family over fellow dogs.
I saw that with my grandmothers jack russell. She gave not a shit about any other dog that may run into the street or almost get hit by a car, but if I step to close to the street she freaks out and barks her ass off pulling me back to the house. Most times she acted like she was my owner.
That's my current dog too. The single sweetest creature I've ever met, he hasn't as much as growled in his life. He is 12 and he has to wear a mesh muzzle, so people see him on the street and are like 'wow, is your dog vicious?'. Every time, I have to explain to them that he has literally never as much as acknowledged another dog exists, he just eats any garbage he sees on the ground and gets sick 🤣
I bet they're expectation is that another dog knows how to take care of themselves (or should) whereas their silly human is kinda dumb and doesn't know any better so needs lots of protecting 😂
They asked the dog, and dogs never lie
She wrote about it in her tell-all book
Yes, but who translated the barks?
Damn, I should have gone for “bark-all book” 🥺
Blind guy swore on his mum
Cool dogs never look back
They turn their backs and walk away.
Well we at least know she never looked up.
Big Al was right about the Winchester rifle being real but dogs CAN look up
Because she didn’t turn into a pillar or salt .
She didn't become a pillar of salt?
her word is Golden
Dog said it
Exactly
LMAO I literally opened up the comments to say this
She probably did, to check that he's ok.
We don’t just know it, we feel it in our soul and accept it as truth because she’s a dog. IYKYK.
Because dogs can’t look up.
That’s silly. Everyone knows it’s because dogs have no regrets and never look back on anything. Duh
That’s exactly what I asked out loud after reading the title- he was blind so it’s not like he would know
