The unnamed Belgian Malinois, a fierce breed of sheepdog known for its bravery, had been out on a routine patrol with a team of six crack soldiers from the SAS.
They had just entered a small village in a convoy of armoured vehicles when they got out to continue the recce on foot.
But soon after they left the safety of the convoy, they were attacked on all sides by waiting jihadis in what was described as a '360 degree ambush'.
The SAS men returned fire but the jihadis began closing in and tried to outflank them.
The animal was said to have leapt to the defence of the struggling British soldiers, tearing the throat of a gunman who was firing at the patrol.
It then turned on two other jihadis, leaving them seriously injured before the other six ambushers all fled.
You're a good boy.

Belgian Malinois are amazing. Although they resemble GSD, they are smaller, but much faster and more aggressive. We had a GSD many years ago and he would have thrown himself in front of a bus for us or any of the kids on our street. I can only imagine what the Belgian would be like (probably just tear the bus's throat out.)
Did I forget to mention that they can leap tall buildings in a single bound?
