An Army sniffer dog has posthumously received the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.

Theo - a springer spaniel cross - got the PDSA Dickin Medal for life-saving bravery in conflict.

He suffered a fatal seizure just hours after his handler, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, was killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan in 2011.
