Titanium-tooth in Osama's assault
Despite the few facts released about the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound, people are parsing each detail in an incredibly collective study of the incident. The latest focus of attention is none other than a dog who helped the team bring down bin Laden.Though the military has kept mum on the breed of the dog, at least one of th special breed of Belgian Shepherds called “Malinois” is said to have backed the Navy SEALs mission into the al-Qaeda chief's lair. It is not as well known as the German Shepherd or the Labrador, but it also trained to herd sheep. All the three breeds possess the speed, agility and sense of smell needed in war zones.
Daily report says, the dog has surgically-enhanced teeth that are made from titanium and strong enough to pierce a bullet-proof vest. Their body armor can withstand clouds of hot shrapnel, and they've been trained to wear oxygen masks for high-altitude skydives into enemy territory. They are also equipped with infrared night-sight cameras.
Recently, President Obama met the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden but he doesn't know who it was. In his private meeting with the full assault force, the president met the dog who participated on the mission. Said someone in the room, “it is a really scary dog.”
