The body of a soldier who died along with his record breaking sniffer dog in Afghanistan last week has returned home to the UK.

Strange that the dog died of seizures like that.

Most sad.

It is said, if you get separated from your hunting dog while in the woods leave your coat in the last place you had seen him. The dog will seek it out and stay with that coat until you return. The bond can be very strong.

Yeah the dog returned to base after the lads death and suddenly collapsed and died without any warning a few hours later....a dogs raised level of sense I should imagine.

Welcome back home guys...your sacrifices will never be forgotten.

It is a sad ending to a promising career.

Indeed. A very touching story =(

What makes it, imho worse:


The pair's successes at uncovering so many explosions and weapons had resulted in their tour of Afghanistan being extended by a month.
