Puppies born on 9/11 given patriotic names

Five puppies born on the 14th anniversary of 9/11 were given special names.

Each in the litter were given patriotic names, in honor of those lost on 9/11.

"A friend suggested we give them patriotic names considering their timing into this world on such a tragic day," wrote the owner of Cascade German Shepherds to KIRO 7. "I completely agreed and we came up with five names—and instead of the 'S Litter,' they became the 'Freedom Litter.'"

The puppies are named: Freedom, Lady Liberty, Glory, Justice and Patriot.
