If you've been living under a rock, then allow me to be the first person to tell you that this past weekend, US Special Forces carried out a raid killing ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria.
The world is once again a safer place thanks to the selfless men, women and k-9's who put their lives on the line everyday. Though, some news did surface that has many people concerned and offering their sympathies, and that the injury of a dog which participated in the operation.
"The dog is fine and has returned to duty," a U.S. official said of the dog that was injured in the U.S. raid on Baghdadi's compound.

There are very little details about the dog or what role the dog played in the raid, but what we do know it that he's doing alright and is expected to make a full recovery.
We have declassified a picture of the wonderful dog (name not declassified) that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi! pic.twitter.com/PDMx9nZWvw

Confirmed with a second source: As of this morning, at least, the dog's name is classified.

Mind you, the dog's name is not "Classified." But it's classified. https://t.co/35NttyX909

not sure if anybody told the dog.
Excellent news. Many of us following the story of the U-S Special Forces operation in #Syria were concerned about one of the military dogs chasing the #ISIS leader. The dog suffered superficial wounds when #Baghdadi detonated his vest. https://t.co/ye0uuHbECy

Though nothing has officially been confirmed, people on Twitter seemed to know more about the dog than was made public. It may be true that the 'delta dog' was injured after al-Baghdadi detonated his bomb vest, though that could possibly just be speculation.
Update: President Trump has announced the death of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. https://t.co/5LnpsbBj73
