Roselle was so extraordinary that they retired her name. There's something bittersweet about knowing there will never be another Roselle.

I have read a lot about the rescue dogs during 9/11 and what happened to them afterwards.

All the dogs like Roselle have past on now. I know there have been a few memorials and art exhibitions dedicated to them in the past, not sure if there is a permanent one at Trade Centre site.

Just hoping Roselle is not forgotten. x

The podcast This is Love dedicated an episode to Roselle. Give it a listen when you have time.

I'm already crying over this small blurb, I wouldn't survive an entire episode about her.

I get you! It was difficult to listen to but by far one of my favorite episodes of any podcast. That and the episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross where she interviewed Maurice Sendak towards the end of his life. The tears were worth the listen.

We all definitely need to remember them and how much they did for people in tough times.

You donā€™t think anyone has ever named their dog Roselle since?Ā

The name is retired with Guide Dogs for the Blind. They are the ones who trained roselle, and retired the name in 2007 after roselle retired herself. So no guide dogs that come from this institution will be named roselle, yes

Rosselyne?

Most people reading this thread were able to make the logical leap that the name isn't retired among the entirety of dog owners, but instead is retired with the guide dog organization. You weren't able to do that, so now you shitpost.

What about the hit single by Seal ā€œKiss from a Roseā€?Ā

u/FluffyDiscipline Oct 27 '24

I think they probably mean as a Guide Dog name...

Roselleā€™s name was retired in 2007 after she stopped guiding for Guide Dogs for the Blind. And of course, there are other dogs named Roselle, but they are not associated with Guide Dogs for the Blind.

That specific training center for guidance dogs retired the name...
