    This is reportedly the one.

    He parachutes and speculation is he has titanium teeth implants...probably to bite tanks and ****.

    Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
    Fighting all who rob or plunder ... Superdog!

    here's article with many picture of other war dogs

    The dog that started it all has been identified -- or so we think. The canine member of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 that took down Osama bin Laden -- a Belgian Malinois who answers to the name of Cairo -- reportedly met with President Barack Obama behind closed doors last week. But even as that burning question now appears to have been answered, the excitement over war dogs abounds. Speculation and rumors have been flying, from titanium teeth to canine parachute jumps to just how a dog might've brought down bin Laden. Here's some more war-dog fodder to chew on.

    Above, Staff Sgt. Philip Mendoza and his military working dog, Rico, wearing specially made goggles, train aboard a helicopter at Joint Base Balad, Iraq.

    haha, forgot about dog fort.

    the second photo looks like a practice jump. the dog has a parachute, no? Imagine the 101st having 100s of dog parachuters.

    It's raining cats and dogs.

    They said they only put in the titanium ones for medical reasons.

    the picture you posted isn't "the one"...the names don't match.

    I like dogs, so i think it's cool, but then you worry about them, since they can be sitting ducks in certain situations...not to take anything away from this one, but in this case it doesnt seem like the dog played a big role, if any, in taking down Obama. He got grouped in with the SEALs because he was with them, but the last report states he was there to sniff out anyone that may escape the compound during the raid. I don't believe anyone was able to escape though.

    Kind of uncool to make a dog skydive like that imo. dog probably said "no" in dog's way. human just didn't understand.

    Dogs with body armor, infrared cameras, wall-penetrating hearing devices

    and lasers ... "freaking lasers"



    In August 2010, The Register, a British online tech publication, reported that "top-secret, super-elite U.S. Navy SEAL special forces are to deploy heavily armoured bulletproof dogs equipped with infrared nightsight cameras and an 'intruder communication system' able to penetrate concrete walls." The article also reported that the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Group had "awarded an $86,000 contract to Canadian firm K9 Storm Inc. for the supply of 'Canine Tactical Assault Vests' for wear by SEAL dogs." The K9 catalogue boasts an array of high-tech canine devices, from storm lights to long lines and leads to an assortment of vests -- assault, aerial insertion, and patrol-SWAT -- which are rated from "excellent" to "good" in protecting the animal from harm due to everything from bullets to ice picks.
