Complete Headline: Hero SAS dog saves the lives of six elite soldiers in Syria by ripping out jihadi's throat while taking down three terrorists who ambushed British patrol
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.

'His throat had been torn out and he had bled to death,' the source continued, 'There was also a lump of human flesh in one corner and a series of blood trails leading out of the back of the building.
'The dog was virtually uninjured. The SAS were able to consolidate their defensive position and eventually break away from the battle without taking any casualties.'
The SAS commander in charge of the patrol credited the dog with directly saving the lives of all six of the men.

Good dog!!
Are dogs eligible for the Victoria Cross?
Damn!
Give that dog a doggie treat and A FREAKING STATUE!
Fantastic doggie
In our military dogs have indeed received medals.
Especially heartwarming when you remember how much the raggies loathe dogs.
Even better...IIRC, Muslims believe dog saliva to be impure. For an Islamist to go this way is fitting.
I’d gladly buy that dog a giant bag of whatever food it wants!
Heh, your post just made me chuckle aloud!
Victoria Cross? Called, I think, the DSO
‘D&^k shot off’... because that’s about what has to happen before you get one
Doggie sez: “Hey!!! That was FUN!!! Can we do it again????”
"...Good dog! Good dog!..."
Stinks to be the bite victim. Being torn to death by an unclean dog means he loses his eternal access to the virgins.
Excellent!
Jihadis hate dogs. So, it’s fitting.
Buy the dog a steak dinner.
Take that Dog to China and let him loose on those Bastards who boil Dogs alive because they think doing that makes the Meat taste better. Frigging savages.
