The Taliban are claiming a military working dog as a prisoner of war, the Washington Post reports.
This week, a Twitter user who generally disseminates Taliban propaganda posted a video of what appears to be a captured US war dog. The dog appears mostly confused, and wags its tail at some points, as around it Taliban fighters celebrate their apparent victory.
Military dogs are frequently used in Afghanistan for their ability to smell out bombs and their usefulness as forward scouts.
More information about the captured dog, and the situation at hand, are on the way.
