A military dog has been hailed
a hero after saving a team of British Special Forces from a group of 50 ISIS
fighters who ambushed them in northern Iraq. The SAS soldiers were returning
from a 10-day training programme for Peshmerga fighters.
The Alsatian, thought to have been trained by the US Army, was travelling with the group of British soldiers in a convoy of four vehicles. The unsuspecting troops were caught unawares when they were trapped by a group of terrorists last month on the Kurdish border.
The convoy was hit by a homemade bomb as around 50 ISIS fighters attacked. When the British forces attempted to move out, terrorists attacked them from behind. A US soldier travelling with the convoy let the heroic dog off the leash. The angry dog ran snarling towards the ISIS fighters. The first terrorist was bitten on the neck and face. The dog then slashed at the second fighter's arm and leg. The two ISIS fighters ran away in terror after being savaged by the Alsatian.
