Layka |
(Scroll down for video) A U.S. military dog was honored for its heroic action in Afghanistan, according to military officials.
A Belgian Malinois, was recognized by a unit of the Air Force recently for its exploits in Afghanistan, becoming the first dog to receive the honor of the 341st Training Squadron.
The 341st unit is the organization that trains dogs for the military, and the fact that Layka is the first to be honored talks about the magnitude of the award.
Layka, a 3-year-old was working with a unit of U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan this summer when it was sent to inspect a building for explosives and enemy combatants.
Soon Layka was ambushed by an assailant. The dog was hit with several gunshot wounds in the abdomen and right front leg. Despite its injuries, the dog protected the lives of coalition members of the team to attack and subdue the assailant.
After the danger was averted, Layka was treated by its manager and a medical assistant. The dog was taken to a hospital for the first of several surgeries, and doctors were forced to amputate its right front leg.
In early July, the dog began rehabilitation at the Daniel Holland Military Working Dog Hospital in San Antonio.
Major Jason Harris, commander of the 341st TRS, presented Layka with a medal of heroism a
few weeks ago from the parent organization of the unit, the Training Group 37.
“The medal is unofficial because there is no decoration for military dogs, but he felt Layka deserved recognition,” Harris said. “What these dogs do, day after day, is phenomenal. They save lives. Layka was shot. The dog has been through alot, and what the dog has done is nothing short of heroic.”
Layka now lives in Georgia with its manager, who has adopted the dog because it is no longer able to serve on active duty.
