Conan The Hero Dog Injured In al-Baghdadi Raid Is Honored At The White House
Who’s a good dog? This dog is a very good dog!
President Trump, First Lady Melania, and Vice President Pence along with a very special guest greeted reporters in the Rose Garden today. Conan, the Special Forces hero dog that was instrumental in the raid that led to the death of ISIS leader al-Baghdadi, was honored at the White House today.
President Trump on Monday welcomed Conan, the canine military hero who was wounded in the successful special forces raid that took out ISIS kingpin Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to the White House.
“It was a flawless attack, al-Baghdadi’s gone, and we gave Conan a medal and a plaque. He’s a very, very special dog,” the president said at the White House about the Belgian Malinois.
“He’s an incredible dog. We’re very honored to have Conan here and to give Conan an award,” he said in the Rose Garden ceremony after meeting with Special Forces troops in the White House.
“He was badly hurt but he recovered very quickly. Conan is a tough cookie, nobody’s going to mess with Conan,” the president continued, alluding to the dog’s injuries when the ISIS cutthroat blew himself up with a suicide vest.
The commander-in-chief then extolled the canine’s fighting abilities.

President Trump joked with the Media(D) that Conan was trained to attack if they open their mouths.
"This is Conan — right now probably the world's most famous dog. I don't think I have to use the word probably."

Conan may be a female dog, but Baghdadi is the one who ran like a little bitch.

Slapping the stupid right off of Acosta’s face.
Prager U did a perfect callback to when the NYTimes thought they were ‘journalisiming’ by announcing that the meme with Conan getting a medal with a pawprint isn’t *actually* a real photo of Trump putting an award on Conan.
