Taliban Say US Military Dog 'Well Looked After'

I don't carry many shaggy dog stories but pieces like this are almost designed to trivialise the fiasco of Afghanistan. A bit like the regular ones about local ISAF interpreters winning talent contests.
The rather sad-looking Malinois is seen in a video with Taliban militants, who say they captured the "American military" dog during a firefight. It seems to be the first time a canine has been used in a prisoner of war video.
The Telegraph reports that Zabiullah Mujahid, a well-known Taliban spokesman, says the militant group is keeping the dog and trying "to look after him." LINK
