A well-deserved tribute.
This is Denise Corliss and her dog Bretagne. They were both members of Texas Task Force 1, an urban search and rescue team who deploy to disaster sites to search for survivors.

Their first deployment together was at Ground Zero in the wake of the September 11 attacks. The two worked tirelessly on what started as a search and rescue mission, but soon became a recovery operation.

In honor of Bretagne's 16th birthday, the people at BarkPost and 1 Hotels teamed-up to honor this four-legged hero with an amazing day.

The celebration started out with a flight to New York for Bretagne and Denise, and a warm reception when they arrived at the hotel.
