Treo, a Black Labrador served for 5 years in Afghanistan. His keen sense of smell found what experts call a “daisy chain” – a series of explosives linked together and primed to go off at the same time. Thanks to Treo, the Taliban’s plots to slaughter hundreds of soldiers and civilians were foiled on numerous occasions. Treo, now retired and a family pet, received the Dickin Medal (the animal equivalent to the Victoria Cross) in February 2010 at a ceremony at the Imperial War Museum.

Appollo is another real-life hero, a German Shepherd who became a national canine hero after searching and rescuing survivors at the World Trade Centre. Appollo and his handler, Peter Davies, arrived at the site 15 minutes after the attack, the first search and rescue dog to arrive after the collapse of the World Trade Centre. Appollo was almost killed by flames and falling debris but survived, having being drenched after falling into a pool of water just prior to this incident. He continued working, undaunted, and received the Dickin Medal on behalf of all the search and rescue dogs involved that day.
