London: A military dog has been hailed a hero after saving a team of British Special Forces from a group of 50 ISIS fighters who ambushed them in northern Iraq. It is believed that the SAS soldiers were returning from a 10-day training programme for Peshmerga fighters.

The angry dog ran snarling towards the ISIS fighters. The first jihadi was bitten on the neck and face. The dog then slashed at the second fighter’s arm and leg. Pic for representation/Thinkstock
