Missing army dog found alive

More than a year after an Australian bomb sniffing army dog disappeared during a battle in Afghanistan, the pooch showed up safe and well and was returned to her unit!

Sabi the retriever went missing when the army patrol she was on was ambushed.

Brigadier Brian Dawson from the Australian Defence Force, said she seemed to be healthy despite her adventure in the wilds of Afghanistan.

George Hulse, from the Australian Defence Force Trackers and War Dogs Association said: "She's been a fantastic dog and given us great service, and that she's a survivor shows that she's got the true Australian spirit there".
