In Animal Behavior College’s continuing salute to Canine Champions of Freedom, today we’re highlighting Theo, a bomb-sniffing springer spaniel who served in Afghanistan. Along with his human partner, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, the two hunted for roadside bombs in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps’s 104 Military Working Dog Squadron. Together the two uncovered 14 bombs and weapons caches in only five months, more than any other detection team in the Afghanistan conflict. Tragically, Tasker was shot and killed by insurgents in March 2011 and Theo died on the same day, reportedly of a broken heart.
