A dog that saved the lives of two British soldiers in Afghanistan from a bomb is a finalist for Crufts 2013 - a organization that honors dogs who've displayed outstanding heroism and bravery.
The precious dog's name is Brit and was originally a stray before being adopted by two British soldiers. Brit eventually saved their lives by barking slash warning them of a nearby bomb.
The Taliban then captured the dog, but he was recovered by the British army.
A teacher in England read about Brit's story, and fought hard to bring the homeless pup home.

Military dogs are not only a man's best friend, they are also a country's best friend.
These canine companions are specially trained to sniff out bombs and IED devices and many have lost their lives protecting their handlers.
Some of these dogs include Lex, a Belgian Malinois who would wait for his handler to sleep before crawling out of their foxhole to stand guard in the rain, and Robby, a retired war dog who served THREE tours of duty!
These doggies are simply uhMAZing!
Master Chief and NCO of dog operations in Afghanistan said the following about military dogs:
The bond will pull you through the toughest situations.I don't think there's anything else in the world that can compare to the bond between a handler and dog.
We'd like to thank all of the dogs who served this country faithfully!
Megan Levy is a former marine with two tours of Iraq under her belt.
She became a handler for bomb sniffing dogs.
But when she retired, her dog, Rex, didn't.
After serving some more, Rex eventually came down with a condition that would lead to him having to be put to sleep if he couldn't be adopted.
So Megan has been fighting through the bureaucracy and red tape to try and get her dog to her.
Due to the power of this story (and the fact she received a purple heart) a senator, the owner of the Yankees and many others have stepped in to try and get her dog to her.
Jeremy Renner fans -- you can now rest easy tonight!
While it had recently been rumored that Hawkeye was being recast in the Avengers sequel, it looks like Jeremy isn't going ANYWHERE!
Our sources tell us that the recasting rumors are completely untrue and that he will indeed return to the silver screen as Hawkeye! Phew!
And, though it had been reported that some comments Jeremy made pissed off the execs over at Marvel, we're told he's still "very much a part of the Marvel family."
Not only that, but it sounds like we can expect to see Renner in the upcoming installments!!
