When the Twin Towers came crashing down on to Manhattan 14 years ago today, heroes came in all shapes and sizes.
From the emergency workers who tried to help those caught up in the disaster, to the dogs who worked around the clock to sniff survivors from the rubble.
And now the last-known dog to have worked that day, a 16-year-old golden retriever called Bretagne, has returned to New York to celebrate her 16th birthday.
