WASHINGTON (AP) Every dog has his day, just not at the White House.
President Donald Trump tweets that the military working dog injured in the raid last weekend that killed the Islamic State leader will leave the Middle East for the White House sometime next week.
And the president appears to have declassified the dogs name: Conan. That had remained a military secret because of the classified nature of the mission in which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died.
**SNIP**
Conan was hurt after being exposed to live electrical cables but has returned to active duty, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
Gen. Frank McKenzie, who leads U.S. Central Command, told reporters the dog was injured when it came in contact with the cables as it pursued al-Baghdadi in a tunnel underneath a compound in northwestern Syria.
McKenzie said the dog has worked with special operations forces for four years and taken part in about 50 missions. He said such working dogs are critical members of our forces.

Once again, the United States government has deplorably neglected vulnerable servicemembers: our military working dogs.
A blistering report, released by the State Departments Office of Inspector General last week, found that since 2008 at least 100 American bomb-sniffing dogs have been starved and abused, and at least 10 possibly more neglected to death by our ally Jordan.
One American veterinarian, among five sent to Jordan by the State Department in 2016, unequivocally told the US government to shut this program down.
Instead, State sent 66 more dogs to Jordan, where they were ignored, left to languish in filthy kennels under extreme heat. Their Jordanian handlers expressed nothing but contempt, throwing the dogs food on the floors floors with improper drainage, broken and sharp tiles, floors covered in dirt and feces.
These are dogs whose only purpose is to save human lives. It is what they are bred for and trained to do.
Fresh water bowls were nowhere to be found. The dogs have suffered rampant tick bites that go untreated, causing engorgements, disease and death.
Even their nails are left to grow wild.
These warrior dogs are spared no indignity by the Jordanians.

The first to die according to this report, which only dates back to 2016 was Zoe, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois who died of heatstroke. A State Department veterinarian reported that all of the MWD heat-related deaths have been caused by outright negligence not accident and that this manner of death is brutal.
Next was a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois named Mencey, who arrived in Jordan healthy. Nine months later, a tick-borne disease led to renal failure, and he was sent back to America, where he was euthanized.
As ugly as this is, heres something uglier something neither the OIG report, nor most subsequent news coverage, will admit: Dogs in Jordan, as in much of the Middle East, often are loathed. They are viewed by many as akin to rats, dirty and diseased, never to be touched. Abuse is not just condoned but considered normal.

I am sickened.
But I bet youre not shocked.
The cruel deeds of the soulless.
You need to research what happened to all the K9s of the Vietnam Nam war.
Ive known about this kind of thing for decades.
Perhaps some will understand better why I tend to go ballistic on dog threads.
/dont even get me started on Muz-infected Spanish culture
FWIW, I emailed Dana Perino and begged her to talk to the President about this; I know she has his ear.
Having lived in Turkey for 2 years, I know the moslems hatred of dogs. As fate would have it,a dog came w/ the apartment we rented, on the Turkish economy. It had been left behind, by a enlisted USAF personnel when he was deployed else ware. The dopes.
Well, since he was so sweet, we *adopted* him during our time there. He was smart enuf to survive/avoid the poison the locals left out in meat.
Our upstairs neighbors, a corpsman & his wife, were going stateside, and took him with them. He was a survivor, by any means.
The poison meat in public places is happening here now but were not allowed to say whos doing it.
When I have my dogs out theyre not allowed to even think about sniffing the ground.
Bless you for helping the doggo.
