Including Diesel, who died leading a counter-terror raid after the Paris attacks

There are endless reasons why dogs are considered man’s best friend. The tail-wagging, four-legged friends fetch the mail, keep the bed warm, greet you at the door and provide unconditional love and loyalty. And they’re living proof that not all heroes are human. In honor of National Dog Day—celebrated every year on Aug. 26–here are 10 canines to celebrate for their bravery, dedication and devotion.

The Dog Who Died Leading a Counter-Terror Raid in Paris

A French police dog named Diesel was killed as he led a counter-terror operation in Paris shortly after a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in the city left at least 130 people dead.
The 7-year-old Belgian Shepherd was shot several times during an apartment raid targeting the alleged mastermind of the attacks in November.
People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals, the U.K.’s leading veterinary charity, posthumously awarded Diesel with the highest animal honor in the world for his “gallant actions.”  http://time.com/4464960/national-dog-day-hero-dogs/
