Bomb-sniffing RAF dogs who served for six years awarded animal OBE

Two RAF police dogs have been awarded the animal equivalent of the OBE for the “exemplary careers” sniffing out ammunition and explosives.

Alfie, an English spaniel, and AJ, a Labrador, spent six years helping to locate arms, ammunition and explosives in dangerous environments before retiring.

The military dogs served in Number 4 RAF Police (Typhoon) Squadron for six years, and have now received the PDSA Order of Merit for their contributions to society.
