It's a fake. I recognize that as a fake dog sold in magician supply stores for magic acts, and lots of soldiers in Iraq do magic tricks for fun. Besides, in Islam dogs are unclean just like pigs are. The only dogs allowed are guard dogs. Why would there be a purebreed dog in Iraq? There are only working mutts there.

Never been to Iraq so I would not know first-hand. Didn’t certain parts of Iraq have fairly wealthy people hanging around with lots of oil money to buy things like fancy cars and purebred dogs?
Pakistan has a Kennel Club, I don’t see why Iraq couldn’t have had one, at one time. Maybe they still do.
Actually, it's not terribly unusual for Iraqis to have dogs for pets. Cats and birds are popular pets as well.
Pets aren't nearly as common in Iraq as they are in the US, but they're certainly not unheard of. I have a couple of Iraqi friends who have dogs for pets and those dogs are every bit as pampered as pet dogs in the US are.
While true that Muslims aren’t as dog-crazy as other people are, I’ve never been to a Muslim country that didn’t have any dog owners. It’s not a strange sight at all to see a dog.
I HOPE you are right.
I agree it looks like a fake.
First: How did they cut away to a second camera? They sent somebody down the hill with another camera just for that take and then edited it together? Not buying it.
Second: The uniform looks wrong. Not the right camo pattern, or actually, no camo at all. Maybe it’s some other country’s forces?
Third: the yipping sound doesn’t seem to get farther away as the “dog” falls. It sounds like somebody still next to the camera.
Just my .02
You are making yourself look incredibly stupid. Follow the story and see the outcome and end. Why is everything fake to people like yourself?
Fake dog?
What about the Marine’s Dishonorable Discharge papers, are they fake as well?
