“She was one of a kind,” Padovan added. “She was always eager to do searchers, even after she ’retired.' ”

When she was 2, Bretagne joined 300 search dogs as part of the first wave of first responders at the 9/11 site.

Photos from the aftermath of the attack show Bretagne cozying up to Corliss while surveying the rubble.

Bretagne celebrated her 16th birthday in New York City in 2015.

Bretagne is also credited with doing searches and surveys following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation of New Orleans.
