* Conan is a special operations military working dog in the United States 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force).


* He is a male Belgian Malinois and was named afterConan O'Brien due to his shaggy hair.

* Conan took part in the Barisha raid inSyria, which resulted in the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the then-leader of theIslamic State of Iraq and the Levant terror organization, on October 27, 2019. 

* He chased al-Baghdadi down into a tunnel before al-Baghdadi detonated hissuicide vest.

* The dog was injured during the raid due to exposed live electric wires, but had recovered and returned to field duty.

* There is growing support for Conan to be awarded thePurple Heart following his injury. This would require the President to reverse a policy on military canines not being awarded military honors.

* President Donald Trump called him a "wonderful dog" in a tweet.

* There were conflicting reports on Conan's gender. Newsweek initially reported that the dog is female, but the magazine later issued a correction which said Conan is male. 

* Conan was trained by a company in Best, Netherlands before being transported to the United States. 

* On November 25, 2019, Conan made a surprise appearance at the White House. President Donald Trump introduced Conan to reporters in the White House Rose Garden, saying, "So this is Conan. Right now, probably the world's most famous dog," going on to call him a "tough cookie" and "actually incredible". 

*The heroic military working dog from the Baghdadi raid is a 'four year veteran' with 50 missions under her collar

* The U.S. special operations canine from the Delta Force raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is one salty war dog.

* This dog is a four-year veteran of the SOCOM K-9 program.
