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 dog’s 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.”

I’m not going to ask what happened to them... knowing this much is bad enough...
Me too. I’m hoping Tucker can pick up the abuse story...
I’m glad for that because honestly, I can’t stomach discussing it.
Maybe someone here who has Twitter or Facebook could contact them directly. Those Hero dogs have to be brought home. I don’t get why we give them to Jordan to begin with. Its so Horrific!
LOL!! Har, har, har!!
You’re right - and the sooner the better...
