War dog bravery award
Print Edition
A British military dog that saved the lives of troops in Afghanistan in 2012 has been decorated for bravery.
Mali, an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois, won the Dickin medal, a prize awarded by the PDSA veterinary charity and billed as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross, Britain’s top award for military valor.
The charity says Mali was twice sent through direct fire to conduct searches for explosives. He also detected the presence of insurgents, giving troops key seconds to “engage the enemy in close-quarter combat.”
He carried on despite being hurt by grenade blasts that injured his chest, legs and ear. He has since fully recovered.
