Name: Greta Schuman E-mail address: gretaschu@quest.com Comments: Dear Mimmi! Thank you so much for letting us visit your beautiful ranch. The dogs are stunning, healthy and clean! Such wonderful temperaments! We can't wait to get our puppy this June. Too bad we didn't get to meet you. Have a wonderful stay in Europe!
Wednesday, April 19th 2006 - 02:08:11 PM Name: Terry & Benn Jacobsen Comments: Hey Mimi- Benn and I took the beautiful coastal trek to your ranch from Santa Barbara. When we arrived, I felt like we were in “Golden” heaven. All the dogs are breathtaking in their beauty as well as in their temperaments. Their heads, skeletal structures, and coats all spell healthy! I was truly impressed that Tommy knew them all by name. Thank you for this opportunity. Now, we are doubly excited to get a spring litter male puppy. When you guys find out who is actually impregnated, will you let us know and the due dates or would we just check the website regularly to see updated information. I’m curious now what exactly happens after the deposit was made. Thank you for your time. Can’t wait! Sincerely, Terry and Benn Jacobson
Name: Mary Guarascio E-mail address: Mary.guarascio@ki.com Comments: Hi Mimmi, we cannot thank you enough for our Vinny that we have now had for 3 months. He is such a brillant puppy and we just love how he adores our 4 year old golden. They are really great pals. We consider ourselves very lucky to have one of your puppies. He was well worth evey penny we spent and then some. Every day is a new adventure to see what new thing he will do. I'm excited to start obedience classes with him in the next two weeks. But I can honestly say he doesn't even need them. Again thanks much and if anyone out there is really interested in one of their dogs, you will never be sorry. Thank you...
Name: Jack Fredrickson E-mail address: drjack@frontiernet.net Comments: Hi Mimmi, Just wanted to let you know how well Barley is doing.He has adjusted extremely well and the other two older females love playing with him except when he gets a little too rambunctious. He is very smart, is house-broken, has no bad habits, and loves people. I don't know how you train them when very young but I could not ask for a more perfect dog . I love the other two dogs and they are very sweet but he is going to be a truely great friend and companion in the future. Thank you again. I researched and talked to many breeders of goldens before deciding on a white d puppy. The price was more than I originally intended to spend but I am content in my belief that no better male golden retriever can be found in the U.S.. His temperment is outstanding and his conformation beautiful. This is my fourth golden over the years and he represents the best attributes of the breed. Incidentally, I have contacted Pam P. who have a female litter mate named Brooklyn and their family feels the same way. Thanks, Jack

Name: Mike Chapman Comments: Hello White D Ranch. We purchased our dog in December and we couldn’t be happier as a family. I believe he came from Cookie or Pixie and he is the best dog we have ever had. I have attached photos and we ended up naming him Maximus. I would like to know if it is possible to get his papers. I would also like to see how we can get on your waiting list for a female puppy. He needs someone to play with. Thank you so much for a great dog.

Having had two Goldens, firstly a lovely girl, followed by a gorgeous boy, we thoroughly appreciate just how lovely your dogs are and wish to congratulate you on a terrific website in which to enjoy the photos. Have seen a Platinum Blonde dog here at the beach and wondered about her colour. They are not common here by any means. I hope to have another dog maybe next year when a Breeder I've heard of in the country will be willing to breed from her beautiful golden Gold after she's had a break this year. I thank you for the enjoyment I've had browsing thru your site and send you warm wishes from sunny WA along with hugs for your beautiful family of Goldens.

Brooklyn is the sweetest and best dog we have owned. She does well with not only our four kids but all the kids that come in and out of our home. Everyone has commented on her temperment and how calm and friendly she is. Not only that she is absolutely beautiful! If we did not already have another dog I would be on the waiting list for another White D puppy. Goldens are a wondeful breed and you have bred your dogs well. Thank you!
Name: Anne Neathery E-mail address: Neatherland@msn.com Comments: Our puppy arrived 2 days before Christmas and we had to keep him a secret from our two little boys. (5 and 4) It was so hard to not tell them about him. Santa was to bring him on Christmas eve. My husband Derek built a box for him and cut holes in it. Then he wrapped it with Christmas paper and made a top for it that could easily slide off. Then on Christmas eve we put our Puppy in the box and put him under the tree. He layed quietly until he heard the boys. Then he started to move around a bit making the box move as well. My youngest son noticed the movement first. When I asked him what was in the box he said very seriously "Santa is in there". We continued with our openning of gifts and the puppy continued to move in the box and then my other son noticed it. Finally they could not stand it any more and they just had to open the box. We made them both do it at the same time. They lifted the top and the puppy popped his head out. They both screemed with delight. We took the puppy out of the box and he licked faces and wagged his tail. The boys forgot for a momment that there were more gifts. He made our night. The boys have been enjoying him ever since. He is a wonderful addition to our family.

We named our new girl Sophie, and she's been a source of love and joy to us ever since. She's probably the most intelligent dog we've ever owned. She's naturally obedient and so very loving. Her parents are Poky and Max and she's a wonderful addition to our family. You can check out my homepage for plenty of photos of her. Best regards to Kevin and family, Kathy

Name: Sharon Tremper E-mail address: sharontemper@msn.com Comments: I saw these beautiful pups on the Oprah magazine. I am a golden retriver owner 3 times. I just purchased my newest little baby in October and I think she needs a friend. How much are you puppies and do we need to come out to the CA area to see them? They are just beautiful animals and I'd never get anything other than a golden. I still have mut from 12 years ago and she's not any fun for our new little girl. I'd love for our new one to have someone, besides us, to play with. She loves to play with everything and is a champion sock collector. My last golden, who had cancer to soon in his short life (7 years) was a champion frisbee catcher and underware collector. He is missed more than anyone will know. What a special dog. Our mutt is now deaf and he would always go up stairs and get her for us. He also got the paper every morning. We have trained our new girl to go up and get the older dog from under the bed. She catches on quick. We spoil our dogs terribly. They are family and wrapped around our hearts. We go on vacation, they go on vacation with us. I'd love more info on how to obtain one of your goldens.

I will recommend White Dove Ranch to anyone that is looking for a golden. This is our 4th golden and by far the prettiest of all.

Monday, October 3rd 2005 - 09:15:07 PM Name: Ruth Ann Edmondson E-mail address: aloha-annie@usa.com Comments: Hi Kevin, I visited the ranch in March 2004 after flying in from my second home in Hawaii on my way back to Texas, my daughter insisted that I stop and get a white golden. We already had a golden in Hawaii and a Husky in Texas, anyway, Lena picked me up at the airport and took me to the ranch, I was so amazed to see the wonderful beautiful dogs, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven!! When we drove up they all came up to greet us, what a sight, I will never forget it!! After a couple of hours, I picked out my puppy, she is the daughter of Max and Pixie, I named her Lily since it was so close to Easter and she was so beautifully white! Lena took us back to the airport, she told Lily how spoiled she expected her to be, sleeping on the bed most likely and Lena dashed off to meet you for lunch. I was so impressed with the wonderful way the ranch looked, how clean everything was and how friendly Lena was to visit with and take me back and forth to the airport. I was so sorry to hear about her illness and pray that she is doing well, I am so happy to see that you are still maintaining such care to the wonderful white goldens and the ranch. After hearing of Lena's illness I was worried about the dogs but am so relieved to see that you have taken such excellent care of them! An update on Lily, she is now coming up on 21 months old, she weighs 87 lbs, our other golden from Hawaii,Jake has been in Texas for a while since we sold one house and bought a different one, the two goldens, Jake, Lily and the husky, Blade spend most of their days playing and romping together, Lily rules the roost for sure...and yes she sleeps on the bed every night, she has ever since she came home with me, no crate for that special lady, she has a wonderful personality, a bit shy but loves to be with someone in the family every minute or getting after the boys, Jake and Blade, they have all been nuetered and she was spayed as a puppy so they are all just happy playmates. She is most likely going to live in Hawaii next month with my adult children who live there and Jake who will be flying across the pond to return to Hawaii, she will spend her days in a lovely green valley house beside a stream on Oahu and will be taken to the famous north shore beaches several times a week. What a life!!!! We love her dearly and can't imagine life without our wonderful delightful white dove golden!!! Keep up the good work, I hope to get another beautiful dog again someday from White Dove Goldens, they are the most magnificent dogs on the planet!!! Take care, God Bless to you and Lena. Aloha, Ruth Ann Friday, September 30th 2005 - 03:10:06 AM

Name: Nancy Bevans E-mail address: caliopy@earthlink.net Comments: Yesterday my husband and I arrived at your ranch at our scheduled noon appt with Tommy to purchase our dream puppy. It was 106 degress in the shade. As hot as it was we were impressed to find all these beautiful dogs had plenty of shade, impeccably clean pens,lots of fresh, clean water to drink, & were happy and content. We appreciated Tommy's professionalism and strict guidelines to protect all the dogs and property. It was of great comfort to know customers are highly screened and not allowed to enter the pens, and that our puppy had not been handled by strangers. We sat outside a pen of 5 gorgeous female puppies for an hour until we made our choice. Then Tommy gave her a bath she was even more beautiful. Thank you. Monday, August 1st 2005 - 12:57:32 AM

Name: Brenda Dunn Comments: We'll take some current pictures of Reilly and send them to you. He is really a beautiful dog and we get a lot of compliments on him. Some people have asked us if he is a Great Pyrenees..I guess because of his color and his size. He is a quick learner also..he was going in and out of the pet door in just a few days and was practically potty trained in a week. He has had a few accidents but for the most part has done really well with it. He's also learning to be patient when getting fed. When we first got him he would go nuts at feeding time and we figured he had to fight for his food with 8 other litter mates. We also figured he won most of the time based on his size :))) Anyway he now sits on his rug and waits for his food. We are pretty amazed of how quick he is learning. He's going to be an awesome dog, especially after he goes through his obedience training at 6 months old. Anyway, we'll keep in touch! Thursday, May 26th 2005 - 02:54:06 PM

Name: Tom Piatak Comments: Hello from Florida! I have a question regarding spaying. Our vet is recommending Mia be done next week, she will be 4 months. He said some folks wait until they have one cycle, however, as Mia is getting so big he feels it is easier on large breeds from a recovery standpoint to do them earlier. He also recommended that I contact you for advice. There are conflicting views on when to spay, what do you recommend? Also, such a small world- Today at school I ran into another family, The Wilensky's who own one of your dogs. She is Cloae, and she is one year old! Today at car pool we are going to "get the girls together" for a meet and greet!!! Mia continues to be the "greatest girl". She is so wonderful with the kids, and Tom and I are amazed at just how bright she is- Luna and Pepper did well with this one. She is growing by leaps and bounds. I worry about her upcoming surgery- however, this is the right thing for both her and us. I already informed her best friend (a yellow lab 3 doors down) that Mia will be out of commission for play dates for a few days. People tell me that dogs gain weight after being spayed, but we are not concerned. Mia gets plenty of exercise and we have kept her on the food (have needed to increase the amount a bit) you recommended. She had her first beach experience last weekend- and she loved the sand and the birds. She was a bit hesitant with the water, but I know that will come in time. This summer she will be spending a great deal of time at the ocean, and I am sure she will become accustomed to the sounds. This weekend will be her first boat ride. We are taking her to St. Augustine which is a two hour trip. She looks adorable in her new life jacket- and is looking forward to seeing my Mom's dogs. I have my pictures in for development so they will be coming soon. I tell everyone about your ranch and our perfect puppy! Thank you again, and know that she is very happy! Patty and Tom ps. I filed my AKC paperwork- Her reigistered name is White Dove Princess Mia Thursday, April 28th 2005 - 09:55:16 AM
Name: Nica Gianulias Comments: Dear Kevin: I Hope you are well...just wanted to give you an update on our little guy.He loves to run with me...he has a lot ofenergy. He begins his formal training in another week. He listens to "goto your bed, go to your kennel, and sit." He loves banana chips as a special treat. He is a great eater...he is now 38 pounds and is long andlean with BIG paws and a long tail. He loves the kids and looks for them in their rooms when it's only he and I in the house. He does great on car rides and loves bathes. He plays independently with his toys so well, belly-up...he's hilarious. He has received all of his shots & rabies and is growing like a weed. The vet thinks he will be between 60-80 pounds. I can't wait to teach him to swim. Thank you for the emails of his siblings from the other owners...it was helpful. Take care, Nica Thursday, April 28th 2005 - 09:45:04 AM
Name: Kathy Berthiaume Comments: Hi Kevin, Hope you're doing well. I wrote you during the winter that Sophie's nose had faded to pinkish in the middle. Well, now that warmer weather is here it has turned back to the really deep black. I think it was just a temporary condition due to the cold dry weather. Also, she does love to use her nose as a snow plow which probably didn't help :) She is such a joy to us and is the most wonderful dog. She receives compliments everywhere she goes, and she's so well behaved. I just can't express how much we love her. You are doing a great job with your kennel and I am so glad we chose one of your puppies. Best regards, Kathy Berthiaume Friday, April 22nd 2005 - 11:26:58 AM

Name: lisa & steve E-mail address: lleebove@sbcglobal.net Homepage URL: http://www.leeboves.com Comments: Kevin: we picked up our Pixie pup, Bug, at the end of October. She is now almost 6 mos. old, and must be the world's best dog. Everybody who meets her comments not just on how cute she is (as you can see for yourself on www.leeboves.com), but on her extraordinarily sweet, mellow disposition. She is innately well-behaved. When none of the other kids in Puppy School could sit still for even half a second, our little Bug would rest at my feet. She'll gleefully shred any paper product she can get her paws on, and proudly collects our belongings in her beds around the house, but she hasn't chewed a shoe or gotten into the trash or ruined anything at all of value -- a tremedous feat. A colleague of mine similarly raved about her White Dove Golden (who, we figured out, is our Bug's great uncle), which is why we found you in the first instance. We could not recommend your dogs more highly. Thanks! Wednesday, January 26th 2005 - 11:39:16 AM

He is so eager to please and so trainable ! I have had two other Golden Retrievers before getting your dog. As much as we love " Goldens ", none has ever been as intelligent, faithful, playful, beautiful, and mellow as this dog. I've had people follow me to find-out where we got him ! I've even had Golden Retriever breeders want to know who bred him ! His disposition is such that I have been told that he needs to go into the hospitals/retirement homes as a rehabilitaion dog ! He has certainly filled our " empty nest " with lots of love and faithfulness. Thank you Lena for your insight into the breeding of these wonderful pets. Monday, September 27th 2004 - 04:33:38 PM

Name: Nancy McKabe Comments: Hi Lena and Tommy, I picked the puppy up this am...he was happy to see some one! He is adorable as you both now and everyone is in love with him already...puka (our White Dove Golden girl) did not know what to do...she wants to play and he rolls over and I think they will grow together ....its 7:30 here and he just followed Puka onto the fist step of the pool...dried him off... no worse...and he is definitely not ready for bed....I still think I hear Jammer walking around, but this was such a good thing...we are looking forward to a long relationship with your great dogs....and I wish you both(all 4 or more) the very best life has to offer! We'll be in touch and I still owe you pictures from the modeling shoot last year...maybe we will even make it into your extended family album. And tell Channah that Leiling will "Talk " to her when she earns her computer back...probably soon...THANK YOU!

Name: Ed & Patty Morley Comments: Hi Lena, I just wanted to say Hello to you as it going on two years since we received Buddy from you in Santa Barbara. It has been just wonderful since we brought Buddy into our family. He is doing just fine. I don't have a digital camera to send a picture but he is beautiful. Buddy is everything you described on your website and more. He is so kind and gentle that I wonder if he is human. He is so well behaved that our family is amazed. My nieces and nephews all want their parents to get them a dog just like ours. Buddy completed obedience training at the top of his class and we are about to begin advanced training as I wish to take him on visits to Hospitals for companion dog work. He has a magical way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets. I would like to know if you feel he would be a worthy candidate for breeding. I can't help but think he would make the most wonderful puppies. He is in perfect health and only needs the x-rays and eye-exam to be ready. I am also interested in getting Buddy a compasnion for the Home. I am interested in a female German Shephard. You might be saying why a German Shephard? Well, we had a recent burglary at our new home. While Buddy is the most friendly dog in the world, I fear he wouldn't even put up a fight if someone wanted to take him. Who cares about the material things, I don't want someone to ever take my dog! So I want to get him a companion who will be a bit more protective instinctively. This way my dog will have a companion as well as guardian. We have much larger home now with 15,000 sq. feet of land. They would have have plenty of room to run and play together. I trust your opinion and would like your feedback. Sincerely, Ed & Patty Morley Tuesday, August 3rd 2004 - 03:24:03 PM

Name: marsha sisney E-mail address: golden569@aol.com Comments: Dear Lena, I am so happy to have finally found your web site. My family and I are great friends of your dad's. We live in Rockford, Il. which is 90 miles west of Chicago. We first met your dad and Monica in Sarasota, Florida and spent many Christmas' together down there. When they brought the puppies from Finland to you, they stopped in Chicago to visit us. I was drooling over the pictures of the puppies and hoped some day I would get one. By now, I imagine those puppies are breeding. I am so impressed with everything on your web site. Your property looks absolutely outstanding. What an awesome place to breed dogs. They are so lucky. I also have never seen such beautiful dogs in all my life. The pictures of Helene's wedding and of your dad on Siesta Key are all too familiar. We still stay in touch. We have a blonde golden named Maggie. She has a nice boxy build and weighs about 55 pounds. She will be 8 years old in November. She is an extremely happy and energetic dog. Most people think she's around 2!!!! She runs 3 miles a day with me. I also do agility training with her and she loves that very much. We have been going to classes every week since she was a pup. I am oh so curious as to the temperment of your goldens. It sounds as though they are perfect. I have had many different breeds of dogs and know that I want to stay with goldens. I would love to hear from you about your pups, availabilities and procedures in obtaining one them. Thank you so much, Marsha Sisney Sunday, February 8th 2004 - 12:25:07 PM
Name: Celeste Gilles Comments: Hello Lena I am always so glad when I go back to revisit your website and still find Charlie’s adorable pictures there (especially the one of Graham and Charlie on the boat); thank you for keeping us a part of your extended family. I think it has been a couple of years since our last correspondence… we now have a 17 month old son named Trent, and Trent and Charlie are the best of friends. Trent’s first word – no joke – was “Charlie”, before mama or dada even. So even though Charlie may have felt a little neglected after Trent first arrived he adjusted wonderfully and is still a huge part of our family!! I would love to send some pictures to you, however they are not digital and my scanner is need of repair. Can you please give me an address and I will forward some updated pictures to you? Your dogs still look wonderful and when we are ready for #2 I will let you know!! Thank You, Celeste Gilles Thursday, February 5th 2004 - 09:29:24 AM

Name: Oberholtzer E-mail address: roberholtzer@cox.net Comments: Hello from Phoenix, Arizona. We have just recently celebrated ?Luke?s? 1-year anniversary of joining our family. My husband and I have twin five year old girls and Luke completes our family. He is so sweet and truly a wonderful companion to our girls. He is so gentle and very playful. The girls call him their brother and he is always included in all family drawings and always mentioned in their stories. He is so calm and sensitive. He is a beautiful dog, with a healthy white coat. All of our friends are in awe of his sweet and obedient demeanor. He has never received formal training, and yet he is perfect on a leash, comes when he is called and never leaves our front yard unless he is given permission. He is an amazing animal that continues to give our family unconditional love. Sincerely, The Oberholtzers Tuesday, November 18th 2003 - 08:19:21 AM
Name: Terisa Comments: Dear Lena- I am so much in love with my sweet golden pup from you kennel; so thanks for the excellent work in breeding such a quality litter. Everyone I meet remarks his unique coloring and exquisit personality, kind and loving. Kindergarten puppy training was a blast and so is obedience class. Anyway, besides singing your praise, I am very interested in your foster program and wondering if I could get some information on qualifying. Please let me know.. I think Kalvin would greatly benefit with having another one of his kind around my home. I need to take some digital pictures this weekend on one of our hikes to show you how well he is doing!

Name: Julie Brewer Comments: My family adopted two dogs from Lena this spring. They are the absolute best dogs. Not only are they stunningly beautiful (we get stopped on the street constantly) but they have the absolute best dispositions! They are extrememly smart and well behaved. I adopted from Lena because I had read such wonderful comments about their calm personalities. They really are that amazing! If you are lucky enough to adopt a white dove golden/or foster as my brother did you will not be disappointed. They are worth every penny plus more. Thanks Lena! We feel so lucky to have Luna and Burly!!! Thursday, August 21st 2003 - 03:02:08 PM

Thanks so much for our wonderful new family member. Best Wishes, Robbi Rucker Malibu, CA
Comments: Dear Lena, I am still playing with the idea of getting Journey a sister. We are currently dog sitting for a friend and Journey is having a ball. I would love to have another golden. Do you have any females available now? Who are the parents? This will probably be my last one, so I am waiting for that someone special! (My friends think I have lost my mind, I'm so crazy about my dog!) When is the next litter due? This dog would be a family pet only, not for show. I really like the light color. Thanks for your help. Journey has really been my guardian golden over the past year. His companionship has helped me deal with the death of several of my relatives including my Mother. Look forward to hearing from you again. Tonya Tuesday, August 27th 2002 - 07:41:28 PM

Name: Mike Martin E-mail address: mmartin9@adelphia.net Comments: Lena, It has been a while since our last email, so I am overdue in letting you know about Jake. He is coming in to his own as a mature young man, and he continues to be the love of our life. Lena, we have had several dogs, each being a very special member of our family. But, with all honesty, Jake is the treasure of them all. He is well behaved, a real lover boy, and even a watch dog (well, sort of). He is an absolute fanatic about playing ball and still lets the cat push him around. I am attaching a couple of recent pictures. The first picture shows him ready for the first pitch of a ball game (notice the right front foot). Lena, thank you so much for Jake, he is absolutely wonderful.

We have had goldens for 11 years and this is the best puppy we have ever had. He is so calm and well mannered. I have never had a puppy who sleeps through the night, all we have to say to our Bret Boone is, it's bed time and he gets in his crate. Our puppy was flown up to Washington state and the follow up with Lena was wonderful! You can tell that these puppies were brought up with a lot of love.

My husband and I recently lost our senior Golden and are absolutely heartbroken. We very much want another Golden and both have really been taken by the idea of a blone one. However, we were completely unaware of the fact that anyone bred these ultra platinum color. We are most anxious to hear from you as to how long we might have to wait (and wait we will) to have the honor of bringing one of these truly exquisite dogs into our home. I had sent you an email a short time ago, and we hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you for breeding these beautiful animals. We look forward to hearing from you, Amy and Scott in Portland, Oregon. Sunday, June 9th 2002 - 09:30:36 PM

He is just 8 months old today. He's about half way through basic obedience...smartest dog I have ever had. It's a lot of fun just going through the paces with Jack. He's been real busy "helping" us paint the outside of the house. Each day we have to clean off both yellow and red paint. Everyone he meets falls in love with his sweetness. And, the boy is getting huge. Close to 80# with lots more growing to come from the size of his feet and amount of loose skin. Hugs to you and the furfaces. Judy Thursday, May 16th 2002 - 10:15:19 AM
Name: Elaine E-mail address: CWELAINE@aol.com Comments: Hi, Lena, how are you and your wonderful family and dogs? I've sent you some copies of Cycle World magazine with pictures of Boone in it. He's really small on the cover, but the one in the Table of Contents is pretty big. He's soooooo cute and wonderful. Everyone that meets him just falls in love with him. One woman in the neighborhood said, "He's so cute and sweet it makes my heart melt." I enjoy your website and seeing all the dogs. The only problem I have is seeing those new puppies. I want a doggie ranch. Boone will be 5 months old this coming week. I just can't rave enough about him. So, if you ever need anyone to be a reference for your whole "deal" let them talk to me. Keep in touch, you sweetheart! Lots of love, Elaine Anderson Monday, April 29th 2002 - 03:02:16 PM
Name: Anita Conklin E-mail address: anita_conklin@charter.net Comments: Hi Lena! Nevada is doing awesome, what a sweet girl she is. We just received all her pedigree papers, she’s officially White Dove Sierra Nevada. Thanks for the great name! She has become my shadow we go everywhere together! She is probably the smartest dog I have ever known; she learns things in a snap. She is willful with a mind of her own, but then what toddler isn’t? She lights up when my son walks into the room and everyone on the school bus calls out to her during pick-up and drop off. Her tail wags so fast you’d think she’d wag it right off! I of course stay tuned to your web page the new pups are adorable. I see Chanelle’s pup is still available and of course Hal wanted me to inquire about him, again. So, I guess the questions are how old is he now, how much is he now, and would you sell him as a companion dog or would you prefer to wait for someone who would show him. We have both been smitten with him from the first moment we laid eyes on him and Hal was surprised he was still available. (Me too) Hope all is well with you and your family. Anita
Name: John Singerling E-mail address: Singerling@aol.com Comments: Not all heroes are people! We love our Maggie too! This is a true story which happened on 9-11-01. James Crane worked on the 101st of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. He is blind so he has a golden retriever named Daisy. After the plane hit 20 stories below, James knew that he was doomed, so he let Daisy go, out of an act of love. She darted away into the darkened hallway. Choking on the fumes of the jet fuel and the smoke James was just waiting to die. About 30 minutes later, Daisy comes back along with James' boss, who Daisy just happened to pick up on floor 112. On her first run of the building, she leads James, James' boss, and about 300 more people out of the doomed building. But she wasn't through yet, she knew there were others who were trapped. So, highly against James' wishes she ran back in the building. On her second run, she saved 392 lives. Again she went back in. During this run, the building collapses. James hears about this and falls on his knees into tears. Against all known odds, Daisy makes it out alive, but this time she is carried by a firefighter. "She led us right to the people, before she got injured" the fireman explained. Her final run saved another 273 lives. She suffered acute smoke inhalation, severe burns on all four paws, and a broken leg, but she saved 967 lives. The next week, Mayor Guiliani rewards Daisy with the Canine medal of Honor of New York. Daisy is the first civilian Canine to win such an honor. [copied from NEW YORK TIMES 9-19-01 Not all heroes are people] Sunday, April 21st 2002 - 07:54:44 AM
