- Share via
Lucca rests after receiving the Dickin Medal, Britain’s highest award for valor by a military animal and equivalent to the Victoria Cross, in London on April 5. She is the first U.S. military dog to receive the honor. Now 12, she lost her leg in a bomb blast in March 2012, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
