They say a dog is man’s best friend and the brave boys and girls from C Company, 3rd Battalion The Rifles have found that out.<\/p>\n
While trying to bring peace to Afghanistan, they have been accompanied by Tangye the black Labrador, whose super hooter has saved soldiers’ bacon more than once.<\/p>\n
They have become so close to the pooch that they are worried an improvised explosive device or gun fire could see him lose his life.<\/p>\n
That’s why the troops have launched a campaign to find Tangye a home in the UK as a thank you for his service to the country.<\/p>\n
Lance corporal Brent Meheux said that everyone loves their four-legged friend.<\/p>\n
"It would mean an awful lot to the lads to know he was safe. He has been such a morale booster," he added.<\/p>\n
In another heart-warming tale from the sandy planes of Afghanistan, British medics recently saved the life of a six-year-old boy named Rahmadullah, who had fallen ill with tetanus.<\/p>\n
