As one of the 100 search-and-rescue dogs deployed at Ground Zero, this golden retriever holds a special place in the hearts of many New Yorkers.

Bretagne (pronounced ‘Brittney') is the last known living dog to have worked at the 9/11 site and she and her owner were invited back to New York City from Texas for a day curated to honor their work and celebrate the dog's Sweet Sixteen birthday.

BarkPost teamed up with 1 Hotels and her owner, Denise Corliss, to give Bretagne her best day ever. The pup got the royal treatment in a special suite overlooking her favorite NYC spot, Central Park. She was presented with a doggie "Key to the City" by Hudson River Park, and even got her own personalized billboard in Times Square.

Bretagne has had a long career, which included working on a rescue team in New Orleans ten years ago after Hurricane Katrina.

Now retired, Bretagne continues to give back to her community by volunteering at school programs that help children learn to read.
