Indian Army Dog Tyson Honoured for Bravery in Jammu and Kashmir Operation
Tyson, a German Shepherd assault dog with the Indian Army's 2 Para Special Forces, was honoured during India's 2026 Independence Day celebrations for his bravery in a counter-insurgency operation in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district. During the February operation, Tyson was shot in the leg while leading troops to a terrorist hideout but continued advancing, helping confirm the terrorists' location. The operation resulted in the killing of three Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists, including a senior commander. Tyson received medical treatment and has since recovered.
