President Trump tweets photo of dog that he says was wounded in mission to kill ISIS leader Baghdadi.
"We are not releasing the name of the dog right now," the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark A. Milley, told reporters at a briefing on Monday."We're protecting his identity."
The dog was chasing al-Baghdadi down a dead end tunnel when the ISIS leader detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and three children."Our 'K-9,' as they call it," Trump said."I call it a dog. A beautiful dog — a talented dog — was injured and brought back."in over a century, has repeatedly used"dog" as a putdown, including in his remarks Sunday. Al-Baghdadi, he said,"died like a dog. He died like a coward.
Milley said the unidentified animal was"slightly wounded and fully recovering," and ready to go back to work. "The dog is still in theater, returned to duty with its handler, so we're not going to release just yet photos or names of dogs, or anything else," the general said, adding that"the military working dog performed a tremendous service as they all do in a variety of situations."
