Dogs are often noted as heroes in the news, but in this case, army dog handler Sgt. Aaron Yoder took a bullet for his black lab, Bart, during a gun fight in Southern Afghanistan earlier this month. The Taliban has begun to target these soldier dogs because of their amazing bomb-sniffing skills in an attempt to neutralize the effectiveness of IED detection teams. Soldiers have been known to wrap their Kevlar-covered bodies around the dogs to protect these valuable team members.
Yoder was shot in the leg and was successful in protecting Bart from injury. Sgt. Yoder has been transported to Texas where he has undergone six surgeries.
Bart and Aaron were reunited on May 3rd 2012.
