Though we have previously congratulated Michael Hingson and Susy Flory on their bestseller, THUNDER DOG (Thomas Nelson), today we want to honor Roselle, the now famous guide dog who led her owner, Michael, to safety on September 11, 2001.
This past Saturday, Roselle was named the American Humane Association Hero Dog of 2011 at a celebrity-filled ceremony in Los Angeles, California. In the midst of the celebration, a surprise one-million dollar gift was made to the AHA by philanthropist Lois Pope! And though Roselle passed away earlier this summer, her incredible story will always be remembered. Her owner, Michael, was present for the ceremony. For the full story, please see this link: http://www.americanhumane.org/about-us/newsroom/news-releases/dog-who-saved-owners-life.html
The awards ceremony will be broadcast on the Hallmark channel on November 11.
