A veteran who served in Afghanistan formed a strong bond with the black Labrador Retriever who worked by his side as a bomb detection dog. Sergeant Dave Heyhoe was the handler for Treo, a service dog in the British military, for many years. And when they both retired, Heyhoe adopted the pup to keep as part of his family. The two enjoyed their lives in peace until, at the age of 14, Treo passed away.
We've had a lot of messages sent in by fans who have met Dave and Treo out and about at events. This lovely photo was sent in by Jo Walker. Please send us any photos you have, it's always wonderful to see them!

The tattoo read, in part, "I will lay down my life for you and expect nothing in return. I protect my Dad with my life, and would gladly take a bullet in his place."

It's a fitting tribute to a hero dog who saved lives by finding bombs and protecting dozens of British troops from harm. Treo has passed, but he certainly will not be forgotten.
Morning all! Thought you might enjoy this picture of Treo and Dave out on patrol.
