MIA Dog A-OK After Year in Afghanistan

An Australian military bomb-sniffing dog that went missing during a firefight in Afghanistan in September 2008 has been reunited with one of her trainers. An American soldier found Sabi wandering near a remote base last week and realized the black Lab wasn’t a stray when she responded to commands. “She’s the last piece of the puzzle,” says an Australian trooper wounded in the skirmish. “It’s a fantastic morale booster.”

“I nudged a tennis ball to her with my foot and she took it straight away,” one of Sabi’s trainers tells CNN of their recent reunion. “It's a game we used to play over and over again during her training. It’s amazing, just incredible, to have her back.” (More Australia stories.)
