Cheeky Belgian “Chocolat” Saves Troops
An army dog called Chocolat saved the lives of a search team by sniffing out a Taliban bomb-making factory that had been booby-trapped.
The “Belgian” Shepherd (described as “Cheeky” by his Handler) found home-made explosives, old claymore mines and enough equipment to make over 10 roadside bombs, known as Improvised Explosive devices.
Chocolat uncovered the cache inside a building as he and his 20 year old handler “Steve” – were searching a bazaar in Nad-e-Ali, Helmand Province in Afghanistan.
