This veteran K-9 pursued the target with immense courage while removing the special forces team from immediate danger.
The dog followed the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi into a tunnel, where the leader proceeded to blow himself up.
The blast radius from al-Baghdadi’s suicide vest reached the K-9 warrior and left the dog wounded.
The terrorists r born to be killed. They can run but can’t hide!Baghdadi was persuaded by DOGS & was killed while screaming like a coward DOG!

Belgian Malinois is the choice breed for military units, which is a smaller version of a German Shepherd.
Military dogs often hold a higher rank than their handlers to ensure that they are given proper respect, putting them at the rank of noncommissioned officer.
A battle-injured dog is regarded as a wounded veteran, and in this case a hero.
