Sanson, a military dog in Colombia, is being hailed as a hero after he saved the lives of dozens of soldiers during a bomb explosion in Antioquia. Sanson was helping troops conduct a reconnaissance operation when the army said he triggered a device that had been planted on a “community-used path.” One of his legs was shattered, but Sanson dragged his body to his handler. “Our #FourLeggedHero lost one of his limbs but saved the lives of 36 soldiers and hundreds of residents of the La Raya hamlet in Yondó #Antioquia, who pass through this area daily,” the Second Division of the National Army said. Sanson received surgery and had to have that shattered leg amputated. He will no longer be able to serve with the army, they said, “but his legacy will live on in every soldier he bravely protected.” Read the full story at the link in our bio.
