A military dog who lost her leg on duty in Afghanistan is to receive the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
Lucca lost one of her front legs during a search for improvised explosive devices in 2012.
The 12-year-old German Shepherd completed more than 400 missions with the US Marine Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan – helping protect thousands of troops.
Now retired, she has been flown from California to be presented with the Dickin Medal at Wellington Barracks in London.
