President Trump wants the heroic dog who cornered the world’s most wanted terrorist to visit the White House.
Trump released on Monday night a photo of the dog, whose name has not been declassified. The canine is credited with chasing Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi through an underground tunnel in Syria before the terrorist detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children.
An invite to the White House has not yet been extended to the Belgian Malinois, but Trump wants to meet the canine, a senior administration official told ABC News.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday the dog was "slightly wounded” but had “returned to duty.”
Trump credited the dog in his remarks Sunday with preventing any injuries to U.S. forces.
“Our dog was hurt,” Trump said while announcing Baghdadi’s death. “Actually, the K-9 was hurt, went into the tunnel. But we lost nobody.”
“It's incredible that nobody was killed or hurt. We had nobody even hurt. And that's why the dog was so great,” he said.
Trump described the animal as “a beautiful dog, a talented dog.”
The White House did not immediately respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.
I did not know that was a breed of dog.
On Comcast Cable, Keanu Reeves has been talking over and over again about a breed of dogs he calls "Mallomars."
I assumed he was trying to say "Malamute" and that he is an idiot.
But he may have been trying to say "Malinois."
...
That doesn't mean that he can't still be an idiot.
Feed the dog a Trump Steak on live TV!
Thanks for the info! Very informative :)
“What can you give a dog that the dog can recognize as a BIG reward”
A porterhouse steak from Peter Luger.
“Good Boy!!!!”
I think it is “Good Girl!!!!”
Well, heck! She loves Muslims, give her another Muslim.
It's already being accused of being a habitual canine butt sniffer........That could possibly put an end to its military career if the #mybutttoo group gets involved.........
Not any more! This poor dog has been doxxed.........Security should be assigned to its parents and brothers and sisters.
“Some Shepard’s are retired early because of hip problems, the Belgian Malinois don’t seem to have the hip problems the same as Shepard’s do!!!”
Hip dysplasia is a common issue with almost every large dog breed. It used to be a very big problem with German shepherds but because of better breeding practices the rate of HD is about half it was 30 years ago.
Degenerative myelopathy is still a big problem with German shepherds There is no cure nor cause for DM.
Don’t ask. Don’t smell.
I was fortunate enough to know and see a police dog in action. This one was so smart - he knew if someone held still, he couldn’t bite so he would make a small lunge and when they moved he bit. A little retraining was necessary.
Yes. it is a girl. So, Good Girl!!!.
I love it that a Muslim terrorist was cornered by a hated canine animal and to really humiliate him, the dog is a female, that ‘untermensch’ part of the species according to the Muslim jihadists.
The dog is a better American than Democrat..past present or future.
“... chasing Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi...”
Reminds of the photo of the grinning dog I saw out here:
“I just bit a democrat, and had to lick my a** for a week to get rid of the taste...”
The best thing about dogs is that you can send them in to tunnels after bomb toting terrorists.
Better them than a person.
Thanks for the story.
