A heroic dog that was injured during the U.S. military operation that killed Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has already returned to duty, the U.S. government said Monday.
The dog is fine and has returned to duty, an unnamed U.S. official told Reuters White House correspondent Steve Holland.
President Donald Trump lauded the canine at Sundays press conference in which he offered vivid details of how the elite U.S. Army special operators took down one of the worlds most wanted terrorists.
Our K-9, as they call it, a beautiful dog, a talented dog, was injured and brought back, the president said in his national address from the White House.
Speaking to the Washington Examiner, one Delta Force soldier said of the dogs wounds: The injury to the dog is an injury to one of us. These dogs are a special breed of courageous.
Neither President Trump nor the Department of Defense (D0D) has released additional details regarding the canine soldier, but retired Marine Ron Aiello told the New York Times that the dog was either a Belgian Malinois or German Shepherd.
If theyre leading the patrol, they want a dog that is not only an explosive detection dog but on command can be aggressive, said Aiello. On a mission like this you want a dog that can be aggressive when necessary.

Any person that abuses any dog should have their heads crushed like a grape. My dogs have always been my best friends.
I was concerned about the dogs health, glad to hear he’s well.
So is any alley cat!
Dog-like canines came into contact with humans some 70K years ago. Them teamed with us, they became dogs, us teamed with them, we’re still becoming human.
My three think we humans can do it.
I like dog people.
(Ok, cat people can be ok too, but its not the same :) )
Absolutely. My German Shepherd would stand it’s ground to a 600 pound gorilla with NO fear whatsoever. Amazing dogs.
Since their beginnings, Muslims have referred to Christians as dogs.
Ive got no real use for dogs that dont perform a real purpose but Leader dogs, search dogs, military and police dogs are awesome.
They aren’t referred to by our troops as a fire and forget meat missile for nothing...
I saw this bumper sticker:
THE MORE I GET TO KNOW SOME PEOPLE, THE MORE I LOVE MY DOG
Absolutely! To repeat...any culture that hates dogs can go to hell.
I wouldnt be surprised to see the dog getting a medal at the White House. He deserves it.
Which is seen as being a positive. Better to be a Christian dog than a radical Muslim
Good boy!
Great to hear the canine is okay!
Not to worry, ISLAM is on its way under its own power.
Look, nobody loves dogs more than I do, BUT “human” (many humans anyway, like soldiers and cops) life is more important.
Dogs/animals are God’s creation, but we humans (most humans anyway) are made in God’s own “image”.
LOL.
