    Dude, it's not a real medal like that which would be awarded to a dog handler or trainer.

    There is a long history of military recognition of war dogs in the US.

    exactly what did the dog do?

    got lost and managed to survive? ok i guess that deserve a reward.

    maybe a doggy bone.

    The dog was recovered at a remote patrol base in northeastern Uruzgan more than a year later by a US soldier, and had apparently been well cared for during her time in the restive region.
