Conan, a Belgian Malinois, was injured while chasing al-Baghdadi down a dead-end tunnel in Syria.
President Donald Trump celebrates the heroic pup who took part in last month's military raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
"The dog is incredible, actually incredible," said Trump, who stood beside Conan in the colonnade of the Rose Garden. "So brilliant. So smart." The president was accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, who stood petting Conan's head for much of the brief press event. Trump did not pet Conan during the presser.
Trump said Monday that Conan would be receiving "a certificate and an award" for his service. The president also suggested that Conan would continue to serve in the military, describing the dog as "primetime, age-wise" for service.
