Before being sent back toWashington to recover, Andrew andRocky were both awarded the"Purple Heart" medal. This prestigious honour, which they received together, is usually awarded to staff who are injured or killed in action."He does everything" From his hospital bed, Andrew Brown praised the incredible work of his dog. He explained to the American news channelABCthat Rocky is the true soldier:
I'm just really a guy with a leash. I bring him to the area and let him do his thing. If he responds, I translate that ... let them know my dog got a response right here. "I know the way he works, I know his change of behaviour.

Rocky, who was injured more seriously than his human partner, still has to undergo some more surgery. However, it is safe to say that his life is no longer in danger. We hope these two courageous friends make a speedy recovery!
