Valdo
“Valdo is a bomb-sniffing dog based in Afghanistan. During a mission in 2011, Valdo shielded four troops against a rocket propelled grenade and took on the brunt of the shrapnel. Valdo was seriously injured. Pfc. Bradley said afterwards, “If Valdo wasn’t here, I’m pretty sure I’d be dead right now.” Luckily, Valdo recovered from his injuries.” – Source: BarkPost.com
