Wounded military dog returns to duty after tracking Islamic State leader

WASHINGTON – The military dog credited in the raid that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has returned to duty after treatment – and presumably treats – after suffering minor wounds in the operation.

Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, refused to release the dog's name for security reasons.

"The dog is still in theater," Milley explained to reporters Monday at a Pentagon briefing.

The military's top officer credited the hound's "tremendous service" and said it (gender wasn't released, either) was slightly wounded in the operation to take down the leader of ISIS, the terrorist organization.

  6. Too bad a service handler very rarely gets the opportunity to keep these awesome hero's. These animals are the most loyal. Like any dog. They only want to please their Master.
