On the morning of September 11, 2001, Michael Hingson was at his desk on the 78th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Blind since birth, he had long relied on guide dogs to live independently. That morning, his partner was Roselle, a yellow Labrador he had been working with since 1999. She lay quietly under his desk as he prepared for the day, unaware that within minutes, her calmness would save a life.
At 8:46 AM, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the tower just ten floors above Michael. The building shuddered violently, glass shattered, papers flew, and people screamed. Michael could feel the vibrations and hear the chaos, but he could not see it. His coworker David Frank urged him to evacuate immediately. Michael called for Roselle.
In that moment of terror, she emerged from under the desk, stretched, and looked at him expectantly. Calm and steady, she waited for his command. Michael grabbed her harness, and together with David, they began their descent through Stairwell B. Smoke seeped in, the air grew thick, and stairwells were crowded with panicked people, yet Roselle never wavered. Step by step, she guided Michael down 1,463 stairs, her training and temperament carrying him safely past chaos that no guide dog could ever have fully prepared for.
Around the 50th floor, the South Tower collapsed. Debris rained down, dust filled the stairwell, and panic threatened to overwhelm the crowd. Still, Roselle remained calm, focused entirely on her handler. The journey took about an hour, and when they finally emerged onto the street, the scene was apocalyptic. Michael could hear the destruction, smell smoke and dust, and feel the shockwaves, but Roselle guided him steadily away from danger.
They eventually took shelter in a subway entrance and later walked miles home to New Jersey, crossing bridges and navigating streets closed to the public. Throughout it all, Roselle remained composed, finally resting only when she reached home, exhausted but unharmed.
Roselle had not performed superhuman feats. She simply did what she was trained to do: remain calm, focus on her handler, and navigate hazards step by step. On that day, her professionalism and unwavering loyalty saved Michael’s life. She became an emblem of quiet heroism, receiving numerous awards including the American Kennel Club’s Ace Award and Guide Dog of the Year. She passed away in 2011, but her story endures as a testament to courage, training, and the profound bond between humans and animals.
Some heroes wear badges, some uniforms, and some wear harnesses, guiding their humans through literal and unimaginable darkness. On 9/11, Roselle was that hero.

NEW: Minnesota day care worker confesses to intentionally suffocating an 11-month-old boy because she wanted attention.
18-year-old Theah Loudemia Russell is in custody and will face a second-degree murder charge for the death of 11-month-old Harvey Muklebust.
Savage Police say that back in September, they responded to a call to find an unresponsive 4-month-old.
Three days later, they responded to another call and found Muklebust, who was not breathing. He was taken to the hospital, where he died.
According to authorities, Russell had a history of "attention-seeking behavior," including "nonsensical" 911 calls, firestarting, and "erratic behavior toward other children."
During an interview with police, Russell admitted to "intentionally suffocating" Muklebust and the other child "in an attention-seeking act."
Horrific.
