German Shepherds never cease to amaze me.

Quote:Cpl. Dustin Lee and his bomb-sniffing German shepherd Lex were patrolling Iraq's Anbar province when an insurgent's rocket-propelled grenade cut them down.

As Lee lay dying, his gravely injured dog lifted his shrapnel-filled, fuzzy brown and black frame onto his partner's mortally wounded body and stayed there until medics arrived.

Lex is a true hero.

Wow, that newspaper is way behind in their reporting. The family adopted MWD Lex on December 21, 2007.
