This year marks the 10th year of the September 11, 2001 events.
A lot has changed since the tragic events took place on 9/11.
Many moved on but no one has ever forgotten
the effects that 9/11 brought to their lives.

Michael’s journey down the stairs of the World Trade Center Tower interspersed throughout the book while he also reflects on his life, learning and coping as a blind man. Michael discussed the knowledge he acquired in his life and his special bond with his guide dog,
in which aided him and Roselle to escape the terror of 9/11.
Michael and his guide dog Roselle made their way down over 1000 steps. They made it outside just minutes before the first tower fell.

Trust, Courage, Strength and Heroism
A great book that you just don’t want to put down. Mom read it in a couple hours. It is a heartfelt and inspirational story. The story of Thunder Dog will move you … I give it 4 Golden PAWS: A MUST Read!
Here’s a video of Michael and Roselle
Heroism is a trait not limited to humans.

Our mom is all leaky just from reading this little bit from that book. It sounds very heartwarming but she's such a sensitive sap she couldn't handle it. Your smile did make us all smile though Sugar!
Thank you, so beautiful!
woos, Tessa
Dear Sugar, I have never hear of this book. THANK YOU fur telling us about it. YOU are the best.
Oh yes, I heard about this book and it is definitely on our list. Thanks!
I remember reading about this wonderful dog in a magazine shortly after the events of 9/11. I wasn't aware of the book until just now. It will definitely be on my shopping list.
Thanks, Sugar, for a wonderful post.
What a wonderful book. Mommy will have to read it.

Will have to get my hands on it 🙂
Thank you,
sending lotsaluv to you all.
hey Sugar,
My human remembers hearing about this story shortly after 9/11 happened, but had no idea a book had been written about it. Thank you so much for sharing! The video got my human all choked up, so I am sure the book will be even more emotional for her, but well worth it.

p.s. We can't wait for World Smile Day! Exactly what the World needs – smiles, joy, and love! :->
Sugar, that was a great review – we are going to order the book on amazon now.
We actually saw a programme about Michael and Thunder on TV the other night – it was incredibly moving.
take care

This sounds like a wonderful book, Sugar! Thank you for letting us know about it.
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
amazing story, and his first question of what would you do if you woke up blind, scares me silly. my mother went blind 3 years before she died, from complications of diabetes. she was also bed ridden, it was horrible for her and for daddy who had to care for her. we live 5 miles from Southeastern Guide Dogs, so these wonderful dogs are a common sight here, we see them every where we go, with their trainers, they are super wonderful dogs.
Thank you, Sugar – this sounds like a wonderful book!
Hey Sugar!
Wow, great post. Mom wrote that book on her list of things to read. Looks like a wonderful story. Roselle is one on a huge group of canine heroes that we should all be grateful for.

We've read a lot about the hero dogs of 9-11. Mom is going to look for Thunder Dog.
We will never forget.

Oh, that sounds like a good book.
To answer your question, Budweiser only aired the commercial once – during halftime when millions of viewers would see it – because they did it as a 9-11tribute and didn't want to make money off it.
I will need to get my paws on that book.
Thank you for sharing
((((hugs))))
HI Sugar!!! Thanks for the book idea! Take care and give your mommy extra kisses today!
Thank you for posting about this book, Sugar. I will definitely check it out. What a story.
This sounds like a wonderful book. We'll definitely check it out.
My first reaction when seeing this picture is that it is as good as Gold. But the longer I look at it the more I realize that it’s much, much better than mere Gold because it’s a stunning face of a Golden Retriever who is smiling with serene pleasure at being alive.
And that sweet face prompted me to smile as well. Sugar, you are wonderful!

Well if you give it four paws then I'll buy the book. Just because you say so.
Have a woof woof day. My best to your mom. 🙂
I love your quote.. heroism is a trait not limited to humans. I'll look for that book. Thanks for sharing. The stories of triumph, caring and heroism overshadow the horrific nature of 911
