THE GUIDE DOG WHO WENT DOWN 78 FLOORS

Michael Hingson was working on the 78th floor of the North Tower when Flight 11 struck above him. This verified account follows Michael, his guide dog Roselle and colleague David Frank through the stairwell, past firefighters climbing upward, into the street and below ground during the South Tower’s collapse. More than a heroic-dog story, it reveals how a real guide-dog partnership—and several people sharing different kinds of information—survived one of the defining events of September 11.
