A heroic military dog is to be honoured with the animal version of the Victoria Cross.
Treo, an eight year old black labrador saved many lives in Afghanistan last year by locating hidden roadside bombs while on patrol in the Helmand Province.
The dog will be awarded the Dickin medal at a ceremony later this month. Treo will be the 63rd animal to receive the medal, following in the footsteps of 26 other dogs, 32 second world war messenger pigeons, three horses and one cat.
