Frightening dispatches from ABC reporters stuck in an Afghanistan hotel. A bomb-sniffing dog that disappeared during a fierce battle in Afghanistan between Australian troops and militant fighters has been found and returned to its unit after more than a year.

From AP news: Defense officials said Thursday that a U.S. soldier recovered Sabi at an isolated patrol base elsewhere in Uruzgan. Further details about the base were not given.

The dog was returned to the Australians' base in the province just in time for a visit by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who was photographed Wednesday along with the U.S. commander in Afghanistan Gen. Stanley McChrystal petting Sabi.

Quit being a jerk.

I hope they checked the dog for explosives. That is common practice there.

The dog survived on dog-cube sized portions of retired suicide bombers.

To defeat the Taliban, we need Heroin sniffing dogs.
Or lift the prohibition on heroin and cut the funds to the Taliban. Take that money and the Saudi money will be easy to trace.

The second option is counter-intuitive to a lot of (sheltered, brainwashed) people and will attract little support but would be the best option. Reckless people will do the stuff as they always have and always will but the opportunities for making big bucks would dry up.
