Twelve-year-old military dog Lucca is awarded the highest war medal for her service with the US marine corps.
The German Shepherd has been honoured with the PDSA Dickin medal in
London – the equivalent to the Victoria Cross – after completing 400
missions over the course of six years, keeping troops safe by sniffing
out munitions. During a patrol in Afghanistan in 2012, an IED detonation
cost Lucca her leg, but not her spirit
