Subject: txt heroes gdd gwot -



An Australian special forces explosives detection dog has been found after going missing in action in Afghanistan 14 months ago. Sabi, a four-year-old black labrador, was returned to the Australian base at Tarin Kowt after an American soldier found her wandering in a remote area of the southern province of Oruzgan last week. The US soldier, named only as John, knew that his Australian counterparts had lost their canine companion during a gun battle in Afghanistan 14 months ago.
