The British special forces, or SAS, are already considered to be tough as nails. Now imagine the badass K-9 officer that saved six of their lives thwarting a jihadi ambush in Northern Syria. The lone pooch took down three of the gunmen in the process. True story.

The Belgian Malinois is a ferocious breed of sheepdog known for its bravery. A particular soldier dog (of the said breed) was credited as a hero for protecting the SAS team of six, who were on a routine patrol.
