Afghan Dog Rescued from Taliban

Chris Hughes, Defense Correspondent for the Daily Mirror wrote a sweet story about Brin, a stray Afghan dog who became a mascot for British soldiers serving in Afghanistan. Brin not only served as a morale booster, but went on patrol with soldiers in the Green Zone sniffing out explosives without any formal training. One night while on patrol, the soldiers made a hasty departure from enemy territory and Brin was left behind and captured by the Taliban. Word spread that Brin had been captured and during a Taliban raid, commandos rescued Brin and returned him to his family of soldiers.
