... and the dog hero that rescued 9/11 survivors
Owner Mary Flood had 12-year-old Jake put to sleep on Wednesday after a last stroll through the fields and a dip in the creek near their home in Oakley, Utah. Ms Flood said Jake had been in pain, shaking with a 105-degree fever as he lay on the lawn.
No one can say whether the dog would have been sick if he hadn’t been exposed to the toxic air at the World Trade Centre, but cancer in dogs Jake’s age is common.
