A heroic British military dog who is said to have saved a thousand lives by sniffing out hidden explosives in warzones around the world has been honorned with a memorial.
Buster, an arms and explosive search dog with the Royal Air Force, completed five tours of duty in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Iraq and saved countless lives by searching out improvised explosive devices.
The springer spaniel retired in 2012 and died at his handler’s home at the age of 13 in lincolnshire in 2015. He is credited with saving over a thousand lives by detecting bombs and explosives in war-torn areas around the world.
The memorial was unveiled in the garden at RAF Waddington during a short service.
