The dog was injured when Baghdadi detonated a suicide vest during the Saturday night raid in his Syrian compound. President of the US, Donald Trump shared the declassified image of the dog. However, he didn’t share his name.

On Sunday, he praised the dog for the efforts and called him a “good boy”, “beautiful” and “talented.” Baghdadi was one of the world’s most wanted men. He was confirmed dead by the US after their operation in the Syrian province of Idlib.

Mark Esper, The defense secretary stated that the dog performed a tremendous service. The US military commonly trains and uses Belgian Malinois dogs for support. These dogs help guide and protect US troops. They help in seeking out enemy personnel and sniff out explosives and mines. This breed is highly favored by the Military forces due to their high intelligence and ability to act on command.
