- The dog had been out on patrol in northern Syria with a team of six crack troops
- As the soldiers left their armoured convoy they were hit with a frenzied ambush
- A source said the unnamed Belgian Malinois took out three jihadis on its own
- The SAS commander in charge credited the dog with saving all his men's lives
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.

Oh, yes it is shoot on sight, but they are very smart and fast.
They even get wise to traps. We have caught up to a dozen at a time in the right trap. Not all big ones.
I'm not sure I've ever eaten a large boar. Young boars are OK.
But never ever try to dress one that has been eating peanuts (they like to destroy peanut patches). If they eat a heavy diet of peanuts they are so greasy they are worthless. You cannot get it off your hands.
Most feral hogs are pretty lean. If they are not confined they are less apt to have diseases. We've made some great sausage from them. At times we pinned them and fed them a while before we butchered them. Some of them required adding a little fat to make them sausage cook properly.
We have a meat house at the farm. With commercial equipment and walk-in box. We never do it commercially, but have dressed a lot of game for family and friends. It takes several knowledgeable bodies to do it generally.
And we have a big pit type smoker that we make the best beef sausage ever made. 100 year old recipe.
