The Special Ops Dog Handler Who Ran Through Hell to Save Dog
Vets
By Hannah Ray Lambert | January 14, 2022
William Clark’s breath made clouds of fog in the December air as he and his teammates headed into an open field in Helmand province. Through his night vision goggles, Clark suddenly spotted something their eye in the sky had missed: a man, hiding behind a tree.
Clark shined a laser toward the base of the tree, and his partner Aks, a Belgian Malinois working dog, rushed at the target. In an instant, Aks snapped his jaws onto the enemy fighter’s arm and remained attached, dangling from the man’s body, as the panicked fighter ran toward a building that hadn’t been cleared yet.
Gunfire erupted. Clark and his teammates dropped to the ground, searching for cover in the sparse field. Bullets sliced through the night sky, flying from all directions.
And Aks was out in the center of it all.
