An SAS team was saved after a brave military dog fought off a jihadi who attacked a patrol in northern Syria.
The unnamed Belgian Malinois, a fierce breed of sheepdog known for its bravery, had been out on a routine patrol with a team of six crack soldiers from the SAS.
They had just entered a small village in a convoy of armoured vehicles when they got out to continue the recce on foot.
But soon after they left the safety of the convoy, they were attacked on all sides by waiting jihadis in what was described as a '360 degree ambush'.
The SAS men returned fire but the jihadis began closing in and tried to outflank them.
The animal was said to have leapt to the defence of the struggling British soldiers, tearing the throat of on gunman who was firing at the patrol.
It then turned on two other jihadis, leaving them seriously injured before the other six ambushers all fled.

2nd to best way to deal with jihaddi - have a dog tear out their throat.
Best way - throw them in with a hungry boar.
Any chance we could sic this dog on DEMOCRATS?
I haven’t had one for a few years. We’re remodeling home at the farm, when it’s done we will get another dog.
I like bird dogs, very smart. But a good guard dog might be smarter there. We always had dogs when I was growing up.
We always had them when my kids were growing up too.
We had several Great Pyrenees, good natured dog, but huge and with powerful jaws. I’ve been told that dog has 2 faults: turn him loose he will run for miles, and he would rather kill coyotes than eat ice cream.
90 too 100 lb dog is no joke at full bore, even if they are just saying hi, look out if they are on a mission...

hee hee hee
I’d be afraid the dog might get rabies.
(I cannot quit laughing)
Good dog.
Where at?
Got a 404 error there.
A 400 lb. wild boar can be deadly. The tussocks are nasty and sharp.
We trapped a lot of them. And made sausage out of them. They take special handling, they will hurt you.
Good boy! Steak for you every night.
thanks for the post.
Suspect was a great story and fiction by Robert Crais. If you want the real scoop read War Dogs by Rebecca Frankel. When it comes to the dog’s pack they know no fear. The war dog program is a great program to bad liberal presidents kill it and our special ops programs when they are in power. Our troops deserve the best.
Oh my mistake. I probably searched for the full string and did not shorten it. I did notice the article had same source but names were not entered the same.
Sorry. Thanks for letting me know.
I have had three variants of the Belgian Malinois breed, two Belgian Sheepdogs and one Belgian Tervuren. The Tervuren once bit a black bear in the butt while chasing it away from our back deck. The Belgian Malinois is a short haired variant of the Tervuren. The Sheepdog is a black coated and long haired dog similar to the Tervuren except for coat color. All are in the family of Belgian Shepherd Dogs and they have similarities to German Shepherd Dogs except that they have not been bred for the low rear stance.
Bump!
Use the KISS method for searching. Pick two or three words likely to be in all versions. Three or less letter words can not be searched.
I’ve always heard that the sows taste better than the boars. And why would someone trap them. I thought it was generally shoot on sight.
Thanks for the explanation.
