U.S. official: Military dog seized by Taliban belongs to British

(CNN) -- A military dog seized by the Taliban in Afghanistan doesn't belong to U.S. forces, contrary to the Taliban's claim, but rather belongs to the British, a U.S. military official said Thursday.

The official declined to go on record because it is the policy of the NATO alliance that each country makes its own announcement about its situation.

The Taliban distributed a video of the dog in an elaborate harness and contended in links to its Twitter account that the "mujahideen seized US dog" during an "attempted nighttime raid" by U.S. forces on December 23 in the eastern province of Laghman.

The dog calmly stands among the men as they chant and showoff their four-legged prisoner which reportedly came with a global positioning device one man proudly shows off. The dog occasionally wags its tail, hinting that it's possibly more confused than afraid.

"Allah gave victory to the mujahideen!" one of the fighters shouts, according to the Washington Post. "Down with them, down with their spies!"

The Pentagon confirmed to CNN that a military working dog did go missing in December but they said it does not belong to U.S. forces.

The heavily armed men thank Allah for the dog's capture and show off a global positioning device that allegedly came with it. Military officials in Afghanistan have confirmed that a working dog went missing in December.

Cmdr. Bill Speaks said the dog belongs to another country's military in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.

According to the Post, the Taliban on the contrary claimed the dog, which they say has the rank of a colonel, was taken during a night raid by U.S. military forces on Dec. 23 in Afghanistan's Laghman Province.

It's not clear what happened to its handler.

Kevin Dredden, a former Air Force dog handler and Afghanistan veteran, told the Post that if there's anything certain, it's that "the dog's handler is devastated."

Dredden said that the handlers form tight bonds with their military dogs and that the dogs are given higher ranks than their handler to guarantee respect.

SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks and studies insurgent propaganda, told the Post that the video appears to be the first ever to show a dog as a hostage.

A full-beagle colonel?

They better not be torturing him. We need to send in the SAS ASAP.

There's no piece of shit quite like a dog-abusing piece of shit.

The enemy grows bolder with each passing day.  Next they plan to steal a bowl of Cheerios and then piss in it.

I was just thinking that:  whichever unit that dog belongs to is going to move heaven and earth to recover him.  Nobody gets left behind.

I doubt the Taliban will torture it for information, though.  He might be dinner, though.

I think the SBS should get a chance at the glory of rescuing Colonel Barker.

Indeed. Bastards

The pooch has been named DaGarwal — meaning "colonel" in the Pashto language — and his new owners are thinking about turning him against his former masters.
"It's always possible that we could use the dog, since it has been trained," said Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid.

When the mudslims resort to making videos about captured dogs, you know the jihad is failing.
Soon the jihad will be called off, I am sure.
