Salty and Roselle were two guide dogs who were with their owners in the World Trade Center during the September 11 attacks in New York City . They each successfully guided their owners out of the burning towers before they collapsed , feats which were later recognized when they were awarded the Dickin Medal by the British charity the People 's Dispensary for Sick Animals . Roselle went on to be posthumously named American Hero Dog of the Year 2011 by American Humane , and has a book written about her
