The Belgian Cuno Malinois will undoubtedly prove that a dog is man’s best friend.

The Deakin Medal, the highest honor an animal can receive in the British Armed Forces, was awarded to a former British Army service dog who was seriously injured while helping British Special Forces fight al-Qaeda (PDSA).

From a human point of view, this is equivalent to receiving the Victoria Cross, the British version of the “Medal of Honor”.

British troops used a four-year-old war dog to help them raid a well-equipped al-Qaeda base.

Unfortunately, the militants who were hiding in the area and, using night vision devices, opened fire from grenade launchers and machine guns, blocking the special forces.

After the British and Afghan forces failed to maneuver without loss, Kuno was tasked with breaking the stalemate.

After being freed by his trainer, Kunou stormed the entrance to the complex and attacked the rebels. During the operation, Kuno neutralized the terrorist and discovered a hidden bomb.

“His actions that day changed the course of the mission and undoubtedly saved many lives. “Despite a major life-changing injury, he stood his ground,” McGraw said. Lin added in a press release.

“For this act of bravery and dedication to duty, we are delighted that he is the latest recipient of the PDSA Dickin Award.”

Unfortunately, Cuno was severely wounded in the rear leg by al-Qaeda operatives, one of whom nearly grazed a large artery.

Kuno required several major surgeries to stabilize him and return to the UK, but paramedics at the back of the helicopter treated him on the ground.

One of his hind legs was amputated to prevent a fatal infection.

Surprisingly, the brave dog has made a full recovery from the operation and is now the first British military working dog to receive a custom-made prosthetic limb.
