Don't want him mad at you

This is Brutus. He's part boxer and part British bull mastiff and weighs 200 pounds.
Brutus won a medal last year in Iraq. His handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents. Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant 'go away but come back and find me'. The Iraqis paid no attention. He came back later and quietly tore the throat out of a guard at one door and a second guard at another door. He then jumped against one of the doors (the men were being held in an old warehouse) until it opened. He went in and untied his handler and they all escaped. He's the first K9 to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. If he knows you're okay, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in your lap.

Rico says not in his lap, Medal or no...
