Here's A Picture Of The US Military Dog That Helped Take Down The ISIS Leader by Flashyoil1(f): 7:23am On Oct 30, 2019
President Donald Trump on Monday released a picture of the "wonderful dog" he said took part in the raid against Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State terrorist group.

"We have declassified a picture of the wonderful dog (name not declassified) that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," Trump said in the pinned tweet with the photograph of the dog.

Military officials did not comment on the dog's actions during the raid, but Trump gave some insight on its mission during a press conference on Sunday. He said US forces found al-Baghdadi in Syria, where he fled into a tunnel with three children and was pursued by at least one military dog. He had an explosive vest, which Trump said he activated, killing himself and the children.

"He reached the end of the tunnel, as our dogs chased him down," Trump said. "He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children."

Trump added that the dog received minor injuries in the raid. Pentagon officials on Monday said the dog returned to duty after the raid, but they declined to give further details.

News of the dog's role in the raid prompted speculation over its name and breed. Several military officials said the dog's name was "Conan," according to the Newsweek reporter James LaPorta. The dog is reportedly named after comedian Conan O'Brien.

This dog is more courageous than many of our Boys in the army that would rather torment innocent and unarmed civilians than confront Boko Haram.

It's obvious he reached the end of the tunnel before the dogs. The dogs were chasing him remember? Maybe the distance between him and the dogs was a bit much.

Sure the dog played a role. But Trump is a cartoon character, he exaggerates things.
