Rifleman Khan
“Awarded the canine equivalent of the Victoria Cross, Khan was a German Shepherd that was immediately paired with a Scottish Rifleman for the British Military during WWII and sent to storm a beach for strategic gains in the war.
“Their boat was obliterated, and Khan managed to make it to shore unscathed. When he realized that his master had not made it, Khan swam back out into the water while under fire and in the dark to find his master 200 yards from shore.
“The brave German Shepherd then helped guide his Rifleman, who couldn’t swim, back to shore, dragging him out of the water before collapsing. Khan did survive the war and was later reunited with his handler during a parade honoring war dogs.” – Source: PuppyLoverNews.com
