 * Alt1:... that the detection dog Theo was awarded the Dickin Medal in 2012, described as the animal's Victoria Cross?
 * Alt2:... that the detection dog Theo died of a "broken heart" after his handler was killed by a sniper in Helmand Province, Afghanistan?


 * Prefer Alt1 as it's properly encyclopaedic and links to a featured list and an important historical award. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:22, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
