A German shepherd dog is being praised for his heroism during an attack upon an SAS team by a group of Islamic terrorists in Iraq.
The German shepherd, a U.S. Army dog still in training, had just finished a ten-day stint with a mainly British special forces team assisting Peshmerga fighters in northern Iraq. The dog was on board in a caravan of four vehicles heading back to base, when they were ambushed by the Islamic group.
The German shepherd ran straight for the closest ISIS fighter, dodging bullets to reach him, as both fighters were shooting at him. He hit the man hard, taking him down and tearing at his arms and face.
The dog then left his first target and attacked the second jihadi, reports said, “savaging his arms and legs.”
Both of the ISIS members turned and ran for their lives, screaming.
This particular German shepherd mentioned in the SAS incident is the first dog to be praised for directly saving the lives of its troops.
