Lucca is very intelligent, loyal, and had an amazing drive for work as a search dog,’ he said.
‘She is the only reason I made it home to my family and I am fortunate to have served with her. Today, I do my best to keep her spoiled in her well-deserved retirement.’
Lucca and her owner served in two operations in Iraq before going to Afghanistan where she led 75 patrols in Helmand Province, a province heavily laden with improvised explosive devices.
Jan McLoughlin, DGl of the PDSA, said:
‘Lucca’s conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty makes her a hugely deserving recipient of the PDSA Dickin Medal.
‘Her ability and determination to seek our arms and explosives preserved human life amid some of the world’s fiercest military conflicts.’
