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/
