A U.S. military dog that played a starring role in the raid that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi seemed oblivious to the praise that President Donald Trump heaped on it Monday at the White House.

Conan, a Belgian Malinois dog, seemed much more interested in the head scratches it was getting from Mike Pence, repeatedly looking up at the vice president in search of more attention; not fully knowing he was the nation’s hero!

Trump has used a slew of adjectives to describe Conan, which was injured when it was exposed to electric wires in the late October raid while chasing al-Baghdadi at the terrorist’s compound in northwest Syria. “Incredible.” “Brilliant.” “Smart.” “Ultimate fighter.” “Very special.” “Tough cookie.”

“So this is Conan,” Trump said. “Right now, probably the world’s most famous dog.”

Trump bestowed a medal on Conan and presented the dog with a plaque. First lady Melania Trump stood a few feet away.

The president said initially Conan was going to be muzzled for the appearance, but Trump said he thought that would put the dog in attack mode.

“He’s not in a bad mood today,” Trump told dozens of reporters, cameramen and members of TV crews gathered in the Rose Garden. “So you’re safe.”

Trump said he asked members of the U.S. special forces who met with him Monday if an unarmed man would stand a chance against Conan. He said the special forces, who could not appear in public, told him ‘No.”

“Conan is really a hero,” Pence said, patting the dog on the head.

My great grandfather was among d captured slaves to be taken to US but dat wicked man escaped and denied us d privileged of been a native of United States.... Imagine a country honouring a dog.. if it is in Nigeria, a hunter and his family will savour and even devour all d bones from a rabbit a dog caught and eat d dog too wen not satisfied ..... better to be a slave in US than a freeman in Naija


Modify : Some vagabonds quoting and spitting rubbish on my comment have limited knowledge..... My statement of better to be a slave in d US than a freeman in naija is Metaphorical, it doesn't literally mean to be a slave.... but, all these hungry people looking for someone to devour can't see beyond their myopic reasoning...!!

Honour or no honour...
A dog is still a dog.

No never. He has more honor than a dog. Forget what the media tells you. Without humans, dogs can go extinct.

Thank God he escaped, you would not have been born.

Plus, life for a black guy in the US, even today, is still not good. Discrimination is still rife. You are more likely to be born into poverty, more likely not to finish school, more likely not to grow with a father in the house, more likely to be shot by the Police, more likely to be suspected of crime, more likely not to be served in shops (yes, it still happens), more likely to be discriminated in terms of housing, etc.. and more likely to be incarcerated, and not just one time.

And if your granddad did not escape, there was a high chance he would have been taken to the Caribbean, South America or Central America. The US stopped taking in foreign slaves from 1808...long before great grandad was born. South AND central America are worse for blacks (and yes, that includes places like Brazil and Argentina)

Or your g//g'dad's ship might have been interecpted by a British frigate...and he would have been freed and sent to Sierra Leone or Liberia.

It is not too late to become a slave. You look like one.
