Wednesday

French police have named the dog who died in the police terror raid in Saint-Denis today as Diesel. In a tweet, Police National said the Belgian shepherd dog, or Malinois, who was “killed by attackers”.

"Diesel, a seven-year-old Malinois, police dog for RAID [France's anti-terrorist police unit], was killed by terrorists in the ongoing operation," they wrote.

It is understood the dog was the first to be sent into the apartment where three terrorists were believed to be hiding out. It is the touching account of one brave dog who was with his owner on that day and killed while protecting his owner.

Tributes have come in across the world from people applauding Diesel, the dog's handler and police for their bravery.

There have been many accounts of the heroic loyalty of the dog. Many have been written down, others remain etched in the hearts of those who have loved the dog. These accounts have come from all over the world, from all walks of life and in every type of scenario possible. Dogs have many times been known to alert and wake their owner during a fire in the home. They have chased away attacks on their loved ones from both human and beast. Dogs have bravely walked the paths of danger with law enforcement officers and soldiers alike in the battlefields at home and abroad and many times have laid down their lives without a thought to their own safety.

    this is so sad, There should have been another way than to send him in that apartment alone. The people who sent him had to know they would kill him, I feel this way something that could have been avoided........... Rest at The Rainbowbridge sweet baby, No more d angerous missions for you just play and rest.......

  55. My heart goes out to Diesel. This is so sad. Time to stop putting living being's lives on the line and start using armed drones in to access these dangerous situations. Send them in and then blow them away or arm them to explode when they find them.

    It was a suicide mission. It was obvious the filthy terrorists had explosives and such. They should have just leveled the place. Diesel died for no good reason at all.

    ---As I am deeply saddened by the loss of human life, I am also saddened by the loss of Diesel. With a heavy heart I ponder the use of the word "humanity" which meaning is usually related to the good that humans do. I never lose sight of the fact that the evil perpetrated by humans is also "humanity". "Man's inhumanity to man" is an inane statement.
    I like dogs better.
