Veteran offers up his Purple Heart to military dog hurt in Baghdadi raid

Veterans say hero dog who took out ISIS leader deserves Purple Heart

Conan, the military dog that was injured while chasing down Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, will not receive a Purple Heart. A panel of veterans reacts.

The heroic military dog who helped take out ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is headed to the White House and veterans are pushing for him to be awarded a Purple Heart.

On “Fox & Friends” Monday, retired Lt. Col Daniel Gade directly addressed the president and offered up his own Purple Heart for the beloved canine.

“Look, these dogs are heroic. The president’s instincts are right and right on the Purple Heart medal it says, ‘The President of the United States,’” Gade explained, rejecting the Pentagon's policy on the matter.
