Though no U.S. forces were killed in the Saturday evening raid that led to the death of an ISIS leader, one military working dog suffered severe injuries in the line of duty.
The dog, whose name and breed remain unknown, chased Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi into a tunnel and cornered him. With no place to go, the terrorist leader blew himself up along with three of his children, who he was using as human shields. The dog’s injuries highlighted the importance of military working dogs in special operations. Often, they will enter the danger zone with a camera on their backs before the humans do so.
"The dog is a war veteran and a valued member of the team," a currently serving soldier assigned to Delta Force told the Washington Examiner. The soldier did not provide details, pending permission from the dog's handler and chain of command. Everyone involved in the mission is being debriefed and is out of communication for the time being, the soldier said. Within the community, he says, "The injury to the dog is an injury to one of us. These dogs are a special breed of courageous."
Military working dogs are essential teammates for U.S. soldiers, especially in the counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations that followed the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. But the dogs used by the military’s most elite units are elite themselves. Like their human counterparts, they are hand-picked to serve in units like Delta Force, the Army Rangers, and the Navy SEALs.

Full and speedy recovery, then a steak dinner.
Prayer up for the dog.
This dog deserves to be honored for his/her sacrifice in cornering the ISIS jihadist vermin.
I feel bad for the dog, love animals & rather hate to see them used in a battle zone, but they do serve so bravely they certainly deserve to be honored in the best way possible.
Oh,yes..winder if doggie was airlifted to landstuhl military hospital in Germany.
Poetic justice that this muzzie evil scum was track down by a canine...Muslims hate dogs.
Somehow this will be seen as disrespectful to Islam and or animal abuse by some on the Left.
Good dog! Prayers the brave pup.
“Here’s Why Military Working Dogs Outrank Their Human Handlers”

Words fail me to express the disgust I feel when I hear about beings like him who use HIS OWN CHILDREN to shield himself from the consequences of his lifestyle finally catching up to him.
HIS OWN CHILDREN!!!!!!!
The ones any normal human being would give their lives for.
The demonic evil existing in that person is beyond comprehension.
I expect we’ll see that dog at the WH after he recovers.
“HIS OWN CHILDREN!!!!!!!”
It was actually his three child wives. Jmsu
Yep, a medal for his handler and dog and Trump steaks for the dog for the rest of it’s life.
Jmsu?
They’re all going to Hell, anyway, so let them think what they want. This dog has done his part for king and country, and deserves more respect than they do. I hope this dog heals well, and his handler can be allowed to send him home to live a full life with his family.
Are you serious? His 3 child brides?
Dogs are amazing beings. Good doggo. Hope he/she heals well. No pup intended.
Jsmu bwbs
Of course.
That clears it up completely........
Not.......
How many wives did he have?
