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 part of the story:
“’The dog was virtually uninjured.”
Best part of the story:
‘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.”
Yes, YOU are the BEST doggie!
Good dog! too bad you had to taste maggot flesh.
LOL
Learn something every day . . .
Had me at “...ripped...”
What a great feel good story!
Bravver hund!
Not sure how one outflanks from a 360degree ambush, but so glad the pooch opted to send the unclean to h311.
KYPD
they might want to give the dog a tetanus shot, who knows what kind of disease he may have picked up.
Who’s a good boy! I predict, when his service is done, he’s going to have one hell of a retirement
Would like to see the military train attack hogs to use in combat in the middle east-
I’m thinking more along the lines of a 20 oz. Porter House steak!
Just wow!!! Dogs are amazing animals!
Damn. Call him SuperDog.
Killed by a dog. Allah must be very upset. No virgins for that dead terrorist. LOL.
Evidently jihadi tartare is his cuisine of choice.
“Damn! Give that dog a doggie treat and A FREAKING STATUE.”
Not a doggie treat.....this puppy deserves a huge STEAK.
A good, though not perfect, measure of a society, is how they treat their dogs.
Hope that pup feasted on Bully Beef or a nice juicy steak cooked rare that evening....
Atta boy! BBQ ribs on the menu tonight...
Here's a biscuit!
Sad thought though, word is going to get around to shot the dog first.
