Also that morning the young corporal English Liam Tasker, 26 years, was a day like many others, namely to find hidden bombs that other comrades have made harmless. But Liam was not alone in this dangerous task, since he worked with the trusty Theo, a wonderful " springer spaniel " of 22 months. The agreement between the two was now complete. Just one look, and the rest of the orders came from him was so strong the bond between man and dog. It could only be so if we think that the alarm on, there were 24 hours to live in harmony in a thousand quell'Afghanistan daily dangers in war-torn. It was now five months that the corporal Liam, born in Kirkcaldy in Scotland, worked with British forces in the Afghan region of Helmand about a month and should have been dismissed, but since none was as efficient as Liam Theo and sniffing out bombs, his superiors had extended their mission in the theater of war for over a month. There was in fact the whole department another "couple" of bomb so good to be overcome, and explosive devices 14 IED (Improvised Explosive Device ) unearthed by Liam and Theo were a sign of great indistinguishable professionalism and efficiency. On the morning of March 1 and then, the usual day's work that perhaps looked more peaceful, because it was a patrol in the district of Nahr-e Saraj . And it's right there instead of the British military convoy fell into an ambush by Afghan rebels in the crossfire and Corporal Liam Tasker was mortally wounded, so that was useless to set up in the mad rush to the hospital at Camp Banion. Meanwhile, the faithful Theo, unharmed, has never taken a moment from his instructor. A story of love and deep loyalty but has a dual sad ending. A Royal Air Force Hercules Thursday, March 10, reported home the body of Corporal Liam Tasker. With him, the Ministry of Defence have been delivered to the family the ashes of the faithful Theo, who died of a heart attack just three hours after the death of his instructor. Now, the fidelity is the efficiency of this wonderful animal who has been "good and evil" man who was bound, will be rewarded: Theo it was nominated for the " Dickin Medal , or the ' British military decoration for animals that have distinguished themselves in the course of military action. The "heroes " many times are too ... (photo: Liam Tasker and inseparable Theo)
